de Le Cuona’s epic Overland collection enlivens experiences in ten designs over fifty color stories crafted using inventive techniques into the finest flax, wool, and cashmere that span heavy and light weights, patterns and textures, and exciting color.
Overland lets creativity flow and imagination travel beyond traditional horizons. Fabrics are imbued with soul and a personal touch. Each of these fabrics and every color was inspired by Bernie’s own memories and experiences that she hopes will resonate with others.
“It is my favorite collection in terms of the new neutral palette and the craft that has gone into creating the structures of the cloths.” – Bernie de Le Cuona
Read on below to find out all about the fabrics introduced in the Overland Collection or head to de Le Cuona’s 16th Floor showroom at 200 Lex to experience the collection for yourself!
Kalahari is a jacquard linen and wool combining weave structures to create an intricate design with pattern inspired by African symbols. Colors range from tonal to deep espresso plus terracotta, indigo, and slate. A fabric for curtaining and light upholstery.
Cashmere Velvet is a sublime cloth that uses the finest, extra-long cashmere fibers. Cashmere Velvet balances elegance and strength for both curtains and upholstery. The jewel hues capture the grandeur of the specialist fibers and techniques.
Assegai is inspired by the tribal engravings on traditional spears native to Africa and each colorway bears an accent hue created by the spear making. Being reversible it is perfected as unlined curtains, bedcovers, throws with slightly different color options each side.
Shuka is a dense cloth which combines several colors in both warp and weft to create a striking design. Reversible and slightly different colors on each side it is a double cloth quality and will last for yours.
Warrior Cloth the original gutsy linen is now in the overland palette of “new” neutrals with splashes of teal and rich colors found in nature and Africa’s diverse terrain. The combination of two colors creates a slight two-tone surface on this robust upholstery fabric.
Stampede is a rustic, earthy linen that mimics the myriad of animal tracks found in the sand. This linen comes in a range of sun-bleached neutrals that feel pure and unrefined. Totally reversible and beautiful on both sides giving color options or allowing for use as unlined curtains and upholstery.
Tuli is a characterful linen inspired by the Tuli Block in Botswana, a popular region for overland explorers. It’s reminiscent of stripes used by tribal people and the warm and cool shades of home in any elegant environment where more than a plain is required, perhaps on an ottoman or armchair.
Autumn is a staple linen for any interior and a cloth that will age beautifully. It has a graceful drape and buttery hand which is soft to the touch making it suitable for curtaining and upholstery.
Dahna is a tightly woven linen inspired by the moving sands of Ad-Dahna. The colors are shades of the sand dunes as the sun, moon, and the elements pass over them. The arid surface with its color gradients is created with a unique craft technique devised by de Le Cuona and handled in the old-fashioned way using the hand and eye of experts. A double width fabric with an elegant drape.
Vintage Cement is a novel take on de Le Cuona’s signature Vintage Canvas fabric where linen is painted to resemble canvas. This iconic original cloth has an unusual painted finish and is now available in a soft cement color.
