Fall 2016
Trend Report: In Full Flower By Sarah Schwartz

Although the warmer months are coming to a close, there are some trends that refuse to cool down.  In this quarter’s weather report, expect flowers to bloom courtesy of vibrant designs across product categories, while cacti will continue to make a pointed (yet not prickly) impression on the gift market.

Meanwhile, blue-and-white patterns feel both classic and fresh; retro-inspired designs exhibit the feel of cherished, luxe heirlooms; while at the other end of the design spectrum, styling is clean and pared back courtesy of a most pronounced Scandinavian-inspired style.
