One of my readers, Shannon, reminded me recently of Kerry Cassill’s work and I thought I’d show some of her pretty Indian-inspired fabrics for a moment. Kerry’s shop, Lala, is located in Laguna Beach, California and I had the privilege of visiting her beautiful city in 2005 and loved it — but didn’t get to stop into her shop. I drove by Lala and I still recall how disappointed I was that it had already closed for the day! Once you see her incredible patterns and colorways before you’ll see why I was so sad… I love this laid back boho vibe because in the middle of February all I can think about right now is springtime!

Kerry lives in such a gorgeous part of the world and I love how she takes her light-filled natural surroundings and combines the beauty of coastal southern California with her love of Indian prints and patterns to churn out what feels very much a mix west coast bohemian meets the pattern and color-filled streets of Mumbai. I would gladly flaunt Kerry’s textiles in my home and wish they were available in Germany because I’d love to design a Cassill-inspired guest bedroom.

Psst: You can shop for her lovely home things here.

I LOVE Laguna Beach and am definitely missing Southern California right about now since I’m in NYC! These prints are so bright and beautiful– they’d fit right at beach house or even an NYC apt in need of some spring refreshing;)

I used to live nearby (moved as of 2 months ago) and have been to her shop a couple times…I absolutely love Indian inspired block pattern fabrics, and they are very reasonable too!

Lovely fabrics and patterns! It has a cool vintage feel to it.

Reminds me of stamps we had when I was young. Maybe I’ll carve out some potatoes this weekend and make my own prints. :)

So beautiful! This post made me miss home. I’m a so-cal transplant living in Chicago. Missing the light and natural beauty so much! But hmmm… those fabrics could be a good way to bring home here to the windy city. Stunning designs!
