New Toile With A Twist

Traditional toile, the cotton fabric produced in the town of Jouy, in France, features scenes of provincial life: shepherds driving sheep, lovers meeting beneath trees. Toile has never gone out of fashion but fabric designers have been using less traditional patterns more reflective of life today:

Glasgow toile includes scenes of a junkie passed out on a bench, and a man taking a leak in a park
It's available for £108 per meter from Timorous Beasties.

Toile de Derby in Driver's Door, $150 per roll from Flat Vernacular.

Dino wallpaper in Grey, $100 per roll from The Pattern Collective.
