Travers

1904 marks the beginning of fauvism. Henri Matisse – alongside Paul Signac – discovers Saint-Tropez. Joyous and full of life, their paintings overturn the conformities of the 19th century by the boldness of their colour.

PLACE DES LICES is a modest work by the artist, yet it is a destination not to be missed in the little fishing village. Coloured façades, pink country houses, blue shutters, botanical gardens, flower markets, artists’ workshops, openair cafés with music and dancing, bakers’ shops and interior decoration boutiques evoke the French art de vivre on mild summer days. PLACE DES LICES is embroidered on a linen-cotton blend. The richness of the stitches – feather, satin and tatami – attest to the delicacy of the print that inspired it and the quality of the embroidery. With elegance and discretion, palm, pine and strawberry trees fade into pearl white, charcoal grey, saffron yellow and sky blue.

We teamed up with Southern California artist Allison Cosmos to develop AUDUBON GARDEN, our hero print; an original hand painted garden oasis filled with birds, flowers and butterflies. For its fabric adaptation, every brush stroke of this floral chinoiserie was carefully preserved.

Printed on a lightweight linen cloth using the latest in digital technology, each of the four color worlds creates a unique environment ranging from serene pastel to cheerful bright.

AUDUBON GARDEN is the perfect combination of old world charm with a modern twist.

Two-toned viscose embroidery with a calendared finish gives elegance to this timeless lattice design.

Clever stitch detailing adds interest and the clean white linen ground cloth brightens the lively, handsome colourations.

This best-selling Indienne design printed on a linen ground is from the Travers archive and is the centerpiece of the collection.

We are thrilled to offer 4 new spectacular colourways to ensure BEAUMONT INDIENNE remains a hit for generations to come.

CAPE FLORAL is a nod to the magnificent Cape Floral Region in Southern Africa, one of the world's most diverse floral areas. Comprised of over 20 colours, this design is digitally printed on a structured cotton-linen base cloth. The density of the pattern is offset by a subtle leaf silhouette which sits recessed in the background.

CAPE FLORAL is offered in four gorgeous colorations, including a rich warm neutral with Saharan camels, taupe and terracotta and a bold peacock-inspired colourway with deep emerald, leafy green, navy and periwinkle.

Traditionally recognized as a welcoming symbol, the pineapple conveys a sense of hospitality and warmth.

Originally drawn by hand, ANANAS EMBROIDERY incorporates two vibrant viscose yarns on a blended cloth. The beauty of this embroidery is in the stitch technique. It uses the same yarn at varied thicknesses to create an illusion of depth and color.

This playful embroidery comes in four sophisticated colors that perfectly capture the spirit of the West Indies.

LONGWOOD WEAVE is the textured upholstery plain you have been waiting for! Three different yarn colors are carefully dyed and then warped in a very specific manner to create an end result that, though very intentional, appears wholly organic.

It has a dry, all natural cotton composition, and is available in nine colors that layer beautifully throughout the Travers portfolio.

Timeless in its interpretation, ARBOR IKAT is a printed tonal stripe with irregular edges and a rhythmic repeat; a true testament to traditional woven ikats. Printed on a cotton and linen blend, each color world offers a range of casts and values which make it an excellent bridge to any room.

GAZEBO VINE is adapted from a hand painted medallion found in the Travers archive.

The delicate and washed tonal quality of the original painting beautifully translates onto the fabric, giving the medallion climbing vine depth and dimension.

Printed on natural woven linen using environmentally friendly GOTS certified dyes, GAZEBO VINE is available in six colors that range from brick red and blush to sky blue and indigo.

Home textiles, like fashion, are cyclical, and older styles can be reproduced with a fresh take for today. CARAVAN is the perfect example of this, modernizing the traditional boucle with a natural quality and hand-made look. This upholstery fabric is woven on a linen viscose warp with a very thick weft of 100% pure slub wool.

The use of wool adds to the sustainability of the fabric, and the finishing process is chemical free with respect to the environment. CARAVAN has a special old world quality to it, and is a classic addition to the Travers line.

Printed on a 100% linen ground cloth from artwork developed exclusively for Travers, Ottoman Riders is a fanciful design of Ottoman era figures in a dream-like garden.

The unusual and vivid colourations enhance the playful effect of this original design.

This classic upholstery fabric has a varying checkerboard chenille design which perfectly complements many of the more decorative qualities in the collection.

ZAMMA is named for the African board game that many believe is an ancestor to the modern game of checkers. It is available in seven colours, which include a wide range of neutrals, aqua and blue. 

The distressed detailing in this subtle snake skin beautifully evokes a rustic feel. RAJAH is made on an ombre warp using weaving techniques to give it a slightly raised effect. Short for Rajasthan the capital of Jaipur, Rajah is available in 4 colourways.

Named after New Yorkês most famous private park, GRAMERCY is a casual 100 per cent natural drapery.

The broken lattice was created with intentional breaks in the design to produce a distressed and rustic feel. It is lightweight and drapes easily, offered in a range of six colours. GRAMERCY can be used individually or as an excellent layering piece.

Adapted from an antique screen-printed design, St. Croix is a tropical bird and floral print on a beautiful cotton satin ground cloth.

Available in four vibrant colourways, St. Croix is a dramatic statement print that can make a room.
