One afternoon while shopping for baby bedding with a friend, Catherine Fitzsimmons realized that the choices available all looked the same. She started to wonder if there was another option that would embrace babies and parents with a bit more style while still maintaining a sweet, infant look.
Catherine had always been enamored by the tradition of Indian block-printing techniques, and as she thought more about the baby bedding dilemma, she concluded that these Indian prints with their bright color combinations and charming imperfections would be perfectly suited to a collection of bedding for the bohemian baby.
During her previous work with Pottery Barn and Ralph Lauren, Catherine had visited India and fell in love with the people and the beauty of the country. She used her experiences and contacts she met over the years to set her new project in motion. Catherine's first bedding collection, which will debut in July of 2008, features crib sets, pillows and accessories all hand block-printed on the softest Indian cotton in mix and match designs that include stripes, florals and whimsical elephants.
Her designs truly reflect her belief that bohemian babies are everywhere and just need to show their style.
