| Who would have thought, in this day and age, that you could make patchwork contemporary and sexy? Douglas & Hope is one duo that does. Their quilts and cushions have already won many converts and patchwork leather totes make friends wherever they go. The city store also stocks womens labels sympathetic to their gracious aesthetic – Karen Walker and Akira are but two. And it’s hard to resist the charm of Catherine Hope’s own label, Immune. Finally, Douglas & Hope have the lifestyle element covered with Diptyque candles, French soaps and some tres bon striped canvas stools. M.PADULA  Copyright © 2005 |
