‘Tulip & Bugs’ Fabric Collection by Brigitte Singh NOW AVAILABLE

Aleta’s gorgeous new collection of block printed fabrics by Brigitte Singh is here! Inspired by a child’s view of the colours and arts of ancient India, these five vibrant new prints are the result of a design process which has taken two years to complete by ‘Queen of the Block Print’ Brigitte Singh.

The collection includes the ‘Leila Stripe’ in two colourways, pink-gold and red-green; the ‘Tulip & Bugs’ in two configurations (sparse and dense) on Cream, and on Green; and the most exquisite recolouration of ‘Red Lips’ on Gold, all printed by hand on traditional Indian cotton cambric.

New ‘Grey Jali Buti’ Fabric
The ever popular Grey Jali Buti print has now been restocked on our standard weight cotton. The background greys are of a greener tone, the print more clean and crisp than previous versions. This is a fantastic, classic design that works endlessly well anywhere that it is used.

The World of Interiors January 2010
Once again, Aleta is immensely pleased to be included in this month’s The World of Interiors with two fabrics featured on the Inspiration Pages by Maria Yiannikkou. In this issue, the Red Haveli and Jaipur prints are in reference to an article on the Ahhichatragarh Fort and the Maharaja Bakhat Singh who ruled it during the 18th Century – yet another fantastic piece written by Henry Wilson, whose amazing London home has also recently been featured in the WofI December 2009 issue.

For those of you trying to view the fabrics featured on this website, it may help to know the print ‘Jaipur’ is also called ‘Chrysanthemum’, and it is the Cream colourway that has been photographed.

New ‘Blood Laura’ Fabric
Blood Laura is the newest fabric in the hand block printed Brigitte Singh collection. Available only on lightweight cotton, it can be used for curtaining but is ideal for accent pieces such as lampshades or as gorgeous lining fabric.

Deep brown-red on a caramel beige ground gives this Laura colourway a wonderful ‘antiqued’ feel. It will work exceptionally well in any traditional interior that uses feature pieces in wood.

New Block Printed Soft Furnishings
We have new arrivals of Poppy on White Quilts and Piques! It’s exciting news because it’s extremely rare for us to have this design in stock (and with only a few queen sized Quilts and single Piques available we’re sure they won’t be around for long).

The Poppy is one of our most iconic prints, the original motif dating back to late 17th Century India. The balanced lines of this design have changed little over the centuries, and it remains one of our most sought after prints in the Brigitte Singh range.

Also available once again are Quilts and Piques in the beautiful Pavot on Cream, and for the very first time we’ve added tablecloths and napkins to the Pavot on Cream product range (napkins aren’t shown on the website, so if interested please give us a ring or send an email using the Contact Us form).

As always, our quilted bedspreads can be accessorised with large cushions, but this time we have something a little different: the Pavot on Cream and Pavot on Blue cushion covers are piqued (hand quilted), with beautifully stitched borders and a small silver ‘button’ bearing the hallmark stamp of Brigitte Singh.
