Westerly, RI Trunk Show

Thank you Pam Fatone for hosting a lovely afternoon trunk show with Oliveira Textiles and Francesca Joy. Wonderful oceanside setting. Westerly RI is a truly charming and beautiful New England town with a sophisticated sensibility. I grew up in this state but clearly have not explored all that it has to offer. Really fun.

Special thanks to all the lovely ladies who came out to shop our collection of pillows and accessories.

Wavelength

See 2 new pieces recently re-upholstered for local customers. And for anyone who isn't yet aware; Our services here at Oliveira Textiles include taking your old tattered chairs benches, sofas, ottomans and cushions etc….and morphing them into sparkling new contemporary pieces. You'll be thrilled with the results!!

Thanks for visiting.

The beautiful 'South Coast'. Please stop by if you're near. And if you mention this blog post - code SSSP, OT will take 10% off your purchases.

We have new patterns and dresses and look forward to new acquaintances!!

Sweet Sustainable Style

Well, our brand new 'lifestyle' images will soon be added to the Oliveira Textiles home page. Look for them next week! Our photographer Maaike Bernstrom has done a lovely job capturing the essence of our collection; contemporary, sustainable, style. Fabric by the yard, pillows, fashion accessories and custom furniture. It's always warm somewhere!

And for all of our North-east customers - new fall patterns and colorways are in the works.

True Artistry & Craftsmanship - Alexander McQueen

So my trip down to New York was wonderful. The Alexander McQueen show was as fantastic as I knew it would be, massive crowds not withstanding. At least I got to view beautiful Asian art along the way. Seeing these garments up close just reinforced the beauty and unmatched craftsmanship that I saw on the Metropolitan's website. I am sure that each of the hundreds of visitors to this show feels the same sadness and loss at the death of this brilliant designer. His legacy is a repertoire of rare imagination. I'm so very fortunate that I had the opportunity to view these collections in the flesh.

New York

It's time to head down to the city for some urban inspiration. I'm taking full advantage of my sons' week long camping trip with friends to get away and meet with some old friends and colleagues of my own. And if it's not completely insane, I WILL try to attend the very last day of the Alexander McQueen show at the Met. Always a whirlwind. Our Bristol shop will be closed on Monday August 8, and Tuesday August 9. Please just call with any questions as I will be checking in: 401-396-9194. Back in Bristol Wednesday morning.
