Dominicana features a vibrant tropical palette: pastel yellow, airy aqua and bright red. A medley of florals, cute guava and plantain motifs, colorful homes and confetti make for a fun and cheery collection. And just wait until you see the cute selvages on this collection!

Dominicana will be available late November 2016.

There are a lot of exciting Dominicana projects on the way and we can’t wait to share them with you later this fall!
