Feel Me Flowie

Flowie Textiles

Your style mantra: Blend in and, when noticed, look good.

So you’ll love the designs from Flowie, a line of contemporary textiles.

Designer Yaling Hou starts with hand drawings, mixes in those of the electronic graphic variety, and screens the prints onto linen or cotton. Wine and tote bags are perfect for hauling goods around town, while aprons and tea towels jazz up the kitchen.

But the standouts in the collection are the scarves, which are lightweight and have perfectly subtle splashes of color (hot pink, eggplant, and yellow) in abstract and floral patterns. Keep one stashed in your bag in case a chill hits the air one summer eve.

So you’ll be prepared to go with the flow(ie).
