UK fashion house Paul Smith has expanded its lifestyle credentials with a move into homewares. It’s a “sophisticated collection that speaks to the timelessness of the stripe”, we’re told.

The inaugural collection will comprise a selection of cushions, blankets and towels and showcases the British designer’s “strong use of colour, their combinations and a reinterpretation of the brand signature stripe”. 

Available in two sizes, the cushions have been created in two distinctive styles. The first pattern, with embroidered vertical and horizontal stripes, is crafted using crewel embroidery. The second is made from cotton woven in Italy and features a ‘mini’, slimmer version of the Signature Stripe in a combination of classic and brighter colours.

The stripe theme continues in the blanket selection, which are available in three distinct designs, two of which inlcude the graphic stripe and multicoloured stripe crafted from a mixture of wool and cashmere yarns. 

The towels are made from 750gm cotton terry with a custom woven Signature Stripe jacquard edge. They're available in hand, bath and sheet sizes and in two colourways (navy and white). 

The homewares collection is expected to expand in coming seasons. 

Smith said: “How you choose to decorate your home is as personal to any individual as what you choose to wear. With my new collection of pieces for the home I’ve tried to design items that bring some colour and joy, inspire you and never fail to put a smile on your face.”
