ROSE TARLOW HAS SPENT A LIFETIME immersed in the world of design developing her signature, softly sophisticated, elegantly lived in style, and she brings that same aesthetic to her second collection with Perennials Fabrics and Rugs.

The Fall 2023 collection, photographed in picturesque Nantucket, is inspired by the English countryside. “For over a decade, it has been a joy to work with Rose Tarlow on various Perennials and Sutherland collections,” says Ann Sutherland, Founder and Chief Creative Director of Perennials. “Rose’s soft sophistication is everything Perennials embodies as a brand. Great design that is both enduring and comfortable.”

The collection introduces two new plaids and a full assortment of patterns and colors, as well as four flat-woven rug designs inspired by Tarlow’s own watercolors—In the Weeds, Meandering Lines, A-Mazed, and Tyger!Tyger!— made from 100% SDA fibers to ensure longevity and durability. Every rug design is fully customizable and available in endless color combinations.

All of the fabrics in the collection are independently tested and certified in accordance with industry standards, including resistance to soil, water, UV radiation, tearing, and abrasion. They are also bleach cleanable and easily maintained, and feature Perennials’ performance finish for extra protection against the elements.

Garden Row is a delicate multicolor plaid that adds a touch of refinement with nuanced textured lines, and is launching in six colorways, including two new hues, Beeswax and Blue Heaven.

Foxglove Lane

Foxglove Lane is a tone-ontone check design that is created using finely woven 100 percent SDA yarns. The resulting fabric resembles a vintage raw silk textile. Available in five colorways: Beeswax, Apricot, Bluestone, Shell, and Blue Spruce. Below: A small-scale pattern that plays well with others, Willow Way is a charming fabric featuring embroidery-like dashes in a range of hues like Chartreuse and Sable.

Below: In the Weeds features an organically designed border on two sides and tonal stripes through the center. Adding additional depth and texture to this design is a 3.5mm rope integrated into the horizontal striping that creates subtle and striking movement throughout. Inset, right: Meandering Lines is a unique design that is both modern and timeless. The lines resemble the gentle and natural flow found in nature, bringing a calming and serene atmosphere to any room. The design debuts in Bluestone and Shell, softly saturated hues that create a subtle, sophisticated charm.

Left: Tyger!Tyger! incorporates the artistic elements and intricate details from Tarlow’s painting and translates them into tangible form. The design is an homage to an ancient emblem of power and grace, the majestic tiger. Above: Inspired by classic topiary garden designs, A-Mazed features three box shapes arranged in a harmonious pattern.
