A limited-edition sofa fabric with oodles of stripey charm…
Ever noticed how the nicest things in life tend to get better with age? Really good sofas are improved by sitting, and really good linen is all the better for being sprawled on.
That’s why our new collaboration with lifestyle brand Piglet in Bed feels absolutely natural. Piglet in Bed are known for their relaxed, beautiful linen bedding – the sort that looks better for not being too perfectly pressed. Their bestselling Rhubarb & Rose Pembroke Stripe takes its cue from vintage deckchairs, long summer days and the British seaside: soft rose pink paired with a richer rhubarb stripe.
Together, we’ve taken that spirit and reimagined it as a Schplendid upholstery fabric: the Pembroke Stripe by Piglet in Bed, made in our all-natural heavyweight linen and available for a limited time only.
And just look at it! We think it’s a stripe for sitting rooms with a bit of life in them.
There is linen, and then there is sofa linen, which is not quite the same thing.
For this collaboration, Piglet’s much-loved stripe has been translated into one of our all-natural heavyweight linens: a robust upholstery fabric designed to look lovely on day one, then settle in and soften as the months and years go by.
Really good linen takes on character; it has that easy, lived-in beauty that makes a room feel like your own little private sanctuary.
At Schplendid, we use natural fabrics without polyester and without chemical stain-repellent sprays. We prefer materials that feel good in the hand and breathe properly.
The Pembroke Stripe by Piglet in Bed fits right into that world. Schplendid sofas and armchairs – with their hardwood frames, proper springs, the wool, coconut fibre, and goose down cushions – deserve to be wrapped in the very best fabrics possible.
Piglet in Bed and Schplendid - a perfect pairing
Piglet in Bed have built a much-loved British homeware brand around natural materials, relaxed style and the very sensible idea that homes should be comfortable and colourful and designed for real life.
This, broadly speaking, is our sort of thinking.
As Jessica Hanley, Piglet in Bed’s Founder & CEO, puts it:
“At Piglet in Bed, we've always valued sustainable craftsmanship and timeless British style and so we were very excited to see Schplendid launch last year. We've followed their journey closely and were delighted when the opportunity to collaborate presented itself. Getting to see our bestselling pattern on one of their sofas has been thrilling and we hope it will be the start of a long friendship between the two brands.”
We very much hope so too.
A limited-edition collaboration
The Pembroke Stripe by Piglet in Bed is available for a limited time only (and we really mean that: once the fabric has gone, it has gone).
So if this stunner of a fabric floats your boat, order up a swatch and see what you think. Ponder it in various lights, hold it against the curtains and so on.
And if it feels like the one, we would be delighted to make you something rather schplendid…
