Fine vertical striations create subtle tonal movement through the deeper bands of Collins Stripe, keeping the stripe from sitting flat or still. Sourced from plain striped silk set into the pleated skirt of an 1857–60 American evening dress at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the design isolates one section of that textile as an 8-inch repeat — bringing the movement and fine grain of the original silk to fabric and wallpaper.

Deep pomegranate red against ivory in inch-wide bands. The red is dusty rather than bright — there is brown underneath it — and fine vertical striations create tonal movement through each red band. The ivory bands are flat, and the muted red keeps the high contrast from feeling hard. A bengal stripe in red and cream.

The Source

Sometime between 1857 and 1860, Mrs. James Bonner Collins wore a silk evening dress to a White House reception for President James Buchanan.

Set into the pleats of its enormous skirt were lengths of plain striped silk. The Metropolitan Museum of Art singles them out in its record of the dress, noting that the vertical stripes helped lift and elongate the silhouette.

They were not the showiest part of the gown. They are the reason this pattern exists.

Up close, the stripe is alive — blue shifting through fine vertical striations, bordered by narrow bands of cream and deeper color. One section of that striped silk is drawn here.

Collins Stripe began as the quiet part of a dress worn to the White House.

The Cloth

Decor Chenille. A short, dense pile with a velvet-like surface on a firm woven ground. Fine striations catch the light as it moves across the room, deepening the colour. Substantial weight keeps a clean line on upholstery and gives tailored drapery a decisive fall.

  • Composition: 100% polyester
  • Width: 56 in printable (57 in full)
  • Weight: 400 gsm
  • For: Upholstery, cushions, headboards, heavy drapery

Cotton Linen. A fine, even linen-cotton weave. Colour prints cleanly while the woven surface remains visible, keeping solid grounds from going flat without softening fine linework. Light in the hand, it falls in narrow, supple folds and filters light rather than blocking it.

  • Composition: 55% linen, 45% cotton
  • Width: 54 in printable
  • Weight: 250 gsm
  • For: Upholstery, curtains, table linens, pillows


The Wallpaper

Peel and Stick

A self-adhesive paper with a linen-like texture. The texture shows through the print and gives the color a quiet movement, most noticeable across a full wall. It goes up without paste and comes down more easily when the room is ready for something new.

  • Install: Peel and stick, no paste
  • Walls: Smooth, clean, fully cured paint
  • For: Rentals and rooms where paste-free installation or easier removal matters

Clay-Coated

A traditional unpasted paper with a smooth, soft matte finish. Color sits cleanly on the clay surface, so the finest lines of the pattern stay sharp. It gives a room the familiar finish of traditionally hung wallpaper.

  • Install: Unpasted; paste is applied to the back of each panel before hanging
  • For: Traditional installations, including full rooms and powder rooms away from direct water

Start with a sample. Tape it to the wall and live with it for a few days, in morning light and again in the evening. Watch how the color and surface settle into the room, then choose the paper you'll live with.
