Poiret at Springtime

This April 1st, we're celebrating springtime with an appropriately named textile: Primaveres, designed by the couturier Paul Poiret for his 1930 collaboration with the American textile manufacturer F. Schumacher & Co. The pattern of big spring flowers, including gerbera daisies and dandelions, is entirely different from the other known designs by Poiret for Schumacher. Read more about this fabric in our e-catalogue 100 Years of Textile Design: Part I. 1880–1930. Sold by the yard.
