Behind the Print High Horse & In Bloom

We’ve been wanting to incorporate a fun fabric with horse print into our collection for a while now. I love depictions of these animals in art over the ages, as they are always so interesting and stylized. We also had the vision to create a framed design making vignettes of different motifs. So we combined those two ideas to get High Horse! This design is so colorful and loaded with fun design elements, such as flowers and beautiful horses.

I grew up with horses on our farm and started competing when I was very young. I spent almost every day training and caring for horses for so many years, so they have always been a part of my life. They are such magnificent creatures and are so incredible to spend time with. This print definitely speaks to my fellow horse lovers!

This pattern is very bold. When coloring prints, I typically don’t feel like I need to follow traditional markings for animals or creatures. The horses are shades of white, pink and blue, which makes them feel magical. The olive shades of green in the print make it feel fall-like and luxurious. Overall, there is a slight folkloric feeling, like something out of an old storybook. Between that and the colors, the print is more fanciful and decorative, a style which I always equate with autumn. The collection incorporates a lot of natural elements, so the prints are richer in color than you’ve seen in the summer collections, which feature brighter pops with pretty pastels.

In Bloom is a coordinating print to High Horse that we pulled from its design. We were looking for some ways to add a little bit of floral in here and there, and it came off as a clean complement to some of our bolder patterns. This motif stuck out as being so cute, so we knew we needed to make it into its own print!

The pretty blue shade is accented with bright pink and olive. I feel the color combination adds a little bit of a deeper palette while still being a bit on the lighter side in its overall appearance. It makes for a great transitional shade in the fall season. I think this is a great pattern for someone who loves a more feminine print, or for a total pattern lover who wants to layer it with a High Horse style.

Saddle on up to all things horse print with our High Horse collection, which features cool yet cozy pieces made from 100% organic cotton. You can enjoy this majestic print in traditional cozy pajamas such as the High Horse Long Sleep Set and High Horse Short Sleep Set. For more of a horse print dress style, you could also slip on a High Horse Sleep Robe or High Horse Sleep Shirt. 

If you’re a maximalist at heart, what better way to elevate High Horse than with elegant florals on the reverse side? We created the High Horse Reversible Quilted Robe after so many requests for a heavier style to sport in the fall/winter. The first variation of the robe will be reversible with High Horse on one side and In Bloom on the other. That way, you can enjoy both prints depending on your mood! You can also double the print fun with the High Horse Cami Cropped Pants Set, which pairs a High Horse cami with In Bloom cropped printed pajama pants. 

Seekers of all things cute and cozy will love snuggling up in High Horse pajamas for the sweetest of dreams.
