Huedrawer

Motifs taken from a scene reminiscent of somewhere you have been before

A new collection from echino’s Huedrawer is here. Huedrawer was created with the theme, “feeling like putting on a ‘color’ from a ‘drawer of hues.’
A silky cotton sateen fabric comes in very bright colors, producing a light feel. It is a textile perfect for clothing as well as for bags and small items. The theme for the new collection is “one scene.” Motifs from nature and scenes reminiscent of somewhere you have been before are recreated with patterns in familiar designs. As an accent, silver and gold prints are sporadically featured in all fabrics. Through this treatment, a subtle light overtone can be appreciated.

The design features foxes peeking out of burrows that are drawn in a “box” form. Though the design is simple, silver and gold sides of the box work as an accent, making this fabric look both cute and unique. Since the motifs are little, small items as well as bags and shirts will look great in this fabric. Black and blue color series can be perfectly utilized for items with unisex feel.

Pleated Tote

about 20cm (l) x about 28cm (w) x about 8cm (d) (not including handles and pocket) 

This tote bag has ample tucks on the main body of the bag. It was previously introduced in July’s craft & sewing, using a denim-like double gauze fabric. This time, the material is a relatively thicker cotton linen canvas. Polar Bear from the Nordic Animal is featured. Using a different fabric creates a bag with a more casual feel, even though the same pattern was used.

Nordic Animal  

Animal print fabric perfect for bag making

Nordic Animals features Scandinavian-inspired animal designs, reflecting the popularity of Scandinavian taste incorporated in the items sold at knick knack stores. The animals – owls, elephants and polar bears – are mature-looking yet cute. These not so fancy motifs are simply placed together in line. Relatively large designs are featured on cotton linen material. A big-sized bag made in this fabric will have a great impact.
