Pindler Presents: Newport Mansions Doris Duke.

Pindler’s Newport Mansions Doris Duke™ Indoor/Outdoor Collection is an eclectic assortment of exotic patterns inspired by the batiks, sarongs, kimonos, and personal gatherings of an iconic world traveler, Doris Duke. Doris Duke had a passion for hand crafted textiles from around the globe, which we have illustrated with this group.

For this collection, our inspirations were found in the archives at Doris Duke’s Rough Point estate in Newport, Rhode Island.  We were excited to discover a trunk filled with artisan indigo hand woven textiles all dyed with indigo using century old techniques, collected during her travels in various countries around the world.  Each document has an interesting story and unique process to how it was made.  We have interpreted the original batiks into a performance Indoor-Outdoor story all woven with 100% solution dyed acrylic.

Solution dyed all-weather acrylic is the perfect performance fabric for casual indoor and outdoor living. Solution-dyed acrylic is durable, resists moisture, fading and mildew, while its also beautiful, breathable, and feels soft and comfortable to the touch.
