Handwoven serapes and ponchos in the stalls of Mexican markets inspire Sina Pearson's latest collection of outdoor upholstery fabrics, set to premiere early this Spring. Based off of the archetypal rib weaves and bold colors of Mexican folk textiles, Pearson infuses a modern spin for this new series named Colores de México.
Colores de México sells by the yard only, and is woven from 100% Sunbrella® solution-dyed acrylic fibers, which provides colorfastness and protection from the elements, chlorine, stains and mildew, as well as sunscreen for residential, hospitality and public spaces. Comprised of five complementary styles (three stripes, a floral and a solid) in 23 complementary colorways spanning south-of-the-border brights (blue, turquoise, red, yellow) mixed with neutrals (Mexican chocolate, and the black and ivory from raw fleece), the collection offers options to suit any design scheme.
Pearson rounds it out with a Luis Barragán pink, a habanero orange, and a lime green. The styles consist of “Poncho,” ($136/yd) a basic, "solid" background with narrow stripes and dashes, “Serape” ($136/yd) features complex alternations of broad and narrow bands. “Rebozo” ($136/yd) is the most animated with six different sequences of skinny stripes and dashes, while the two-color “Flora” ($112/yd) is an abstract floral motif in a jacquard weave inspired by Mexican tissue paper cutouts, and handcrafted floor tiles, and “Tela Solar” ($54/yd), a coordinating solid offered in five hues.
