Product Spotlight: Fabrics Inspired by Southern Luxury

If you've been craving bold, vibrant fabrics this season, look no further than Giati Designs' newest Antebellum collection.

"Antebellum was inspired by the lavish pre-war lifestyle of the American South," said a sales associate. "It evokes images of stately plantations amid grand oak trees, dogwood forests and Spanish moss. When I see it, I think of tantalizing fragrances emanating from gardens with abundant flora fill the air. It's such a refreshing group of designs that reflect the grace and style of that opulent bygone era."

The Antebellum collection is characterized by striking patterns, colors, solids, textures, stripes, chenille and damask. Fabrics have names in tune with a celebration of southern luxury. An exquisite coral pattern on a subtle pinstripe, Myrtle Beach, is conveniently reversible. A charming magnolia motif, combined with crisp, wide-striped chenille is aptly named Charleston Stripe. Plantation is a fresh, multi-colored chenille stripe, while Savannah is the name for the solid chenille patterns.

Carolina Special is a dramatic, large-scale, geometric design in contrasting black and soft beige. The chic black, white and grey damask Masquerade features metallic accents and is of equal impact. The collection is rounded out by the curvilinear twists and turns of the refined white matelassé Steamboat.
