INSPIRED BY THE TIMELESS STYLE OF JACKIE O

 

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was many things. First Lady. Fashion icon. Elegance personified. Born from timeless accoutrements that always read chic whenever she donned them—a pearl necklace, a pair of oversize sunglasses, a camel-colored trench—her choices were sophisticated and understated.

In the design world, it doesn’t get much more classic than the paisley print. With Persian roots that date back 2,000 years, the teardrop-shaped pattern has redefined itself from decade to decade—just like Jackie—woven into Kashmir shawls, printed onto bandanas, and deemed a boho-chic sartorial staple by the likes of Etro. And so, we decided the two should meet. As part of our latest collection, Design En Rogue, Onassis Velour has emerged as the newest iteration of the classic paisley. With a distinct retro-’60s vibe, Onassis Velour comes in two fashionable colorways: Texas Dust (a neutral cream and brown that goes with everything) and Classy Pink (a cheery, multihued motif with pink, blue and yellow for when your interior is feeling sassy). In either palette, this velvety fabric will add soft texture to your space and keep all eyes on any piece that wears it.
