🌸 Spring is Here! HBF Textiles Introduces Spring 2019 Collection

Fresh patterns and creative combinations inspire HBF Textiles’ latest launch

HBF Textiles is building on the success of some of their best-selling designs while crafting soon-to-be favorites with their latest introduction, the Spring 2019 Collection. Featuring six fabrics, including two reissues of popular brand classics, HBF Textiles looked to the individual patterns present within fibers to craft a tactile, visual collection. Unique weave constructions are utilized with matelassé, knotted cord floats, waffle weaves, and a well-worn saddle leather, making Spring 2019 a multi-dimensional line that closes the gap between new and old, classic and original.

“Our Spring 2019 collection is a reimagined look at HBF Textiles’ history and where we’re headed,” explains HBF Textiles VP Design + Creative Direction, Mary Jo Miller. “The line combines some of our most memorable textiles with modern, distinct designs to create something entirely new. Spring 2019 looks boldly ahead while still managing to feel timeless, classic, and thoughtful.”

Two updated classics, Honest and Moving Forward, prove their enduring design with modifications and additions that embrace their roots. First launched as “Moving Blanket” by Elodie Blanchard for HBF Textiles in 2014, the renamed textile Moving Forward was inspired by the beauty of a moving blanket draped over a piece of furniture, translated into upholstery. The 2019 version offers neon fill yarns for an added pop of color and original look. For Honest, first released with Christiane MĂŒller in 2016, a fresh range of modern, heathered colorways add depth to this timeless pattern and expand on its initial design. The four new additions to the HBF Textiles family – Grateful Grid, Wild West, Caddy Corner, and Vault Lights – bring liveliness and diversity to the collection through bold grids, distressed leather, small-scale angles, and geometric patterns.

Combining elegance with endurance, the Spring 2019 Collection offers multi-application flexibility with HBF Textiles’ high standard of durability. Two of the designs, Caddy Corner and Vault Lights, are approved for wrapped panel applications while Vault Lights is also approved for drapery installation, allowing for enhanced design flexibility and function. Spring 2019 furthers its dedication to quality with heavy-duty performance Wyzenbeek results, one bleach cleanable fabric, and designs featuring post-consumer recycled polyester and rapidly renewable fibers for built-in sustainability.

The Spring 2019 Collection is available in 45 lively shades, with prices ranging from $28-$68 per yard, and Wild West at $13 per square foot.
