La Dolce Mediterranea

This collection grew out of my long-standing love for the sea. Even though I live right in the middle of the country, far from salty air and blue water, the beach is one of those places that settles something in me. Since I cannot be there nearly as often as I’d like, I visit it in my mind often. This collection became my way of bringing a little of that feeling home... the sun-washed colors, the movement of the waves, and the easy beauty of Mediterranean days that feel both timeless and carefree.

Each pattern in this collection is a way to hold onto that breezy, coastal dream from afar. La Dolce Mediterranea is part memory, part wish, and part longing for the kind of place that makes you breathe a little deeper and slow down a little more. Until I can get back to the shore, this collection is where I keep a piece of it.
