Behind the Print: Peacock Palace
Peacock Palace | What Inspired this Lavish Print?
This print is definitely a love letter to our bi-annual trips to India. Our favorite hotel in Jaipur has a lot of beautiful peacocks who live on the property, and we always love seeing them roaming around the grounds or watching us swim in the pool. Last time they had just had babies! For the scenery, we were influenced by some of the architecture of the hotel as well. It’s so fun to see this beloved place interpreted into this pretty print. And of course, we’ve also received plenty of requests in the past to introduce a peacock focused pattern! Our team loves peacocks, especially Ashley who manages finance for Printfresh. She has been asking for this bird motif for quite some time.
A Royal Heritage Hotel in Old Haveli Jaipur
I love the bold colors of the painted walls and fun details all over the grounds at the hotel that inspired Peacock Palace. We first discovered the hotel when a friend told us we could pay to use the swimming pool for the day and we would spend our weekends relaxing there by the pool. We began staying there the last couple years and always find it inspiring.
Lovely Pink Palace Structures
The architecture in this print is reminiscent of a lot of different scenery in India, specifically the historic palaces (many of which are now hotels) of Rajasthan. We’ve now visited all three of the big Rajasthani cities, the pink city Jaipur (where we spend most of our time), the white/floating city Udaipur, and the blue city Jodhpur. The structures in this print in their lovely pink coloring are inspired by some of the hotels, forts and palaces we’ve had the privilege of exploring. Mughal architecture with its distinctive arches, domes and patterning is incredibly picturesque, and I’ve tried to capture it countless times in my travel sketchbooks before tackling a touch of it in this print!
Shop Our Peacock Printed Pajamas
The Peacock Palace capsule features some bestselling sleepwear silhouettes like our classic Short Pj Set, as well as some newer looks we’re super excited about. The new Daylight Nightgown is a fresh take on the Pintuck style, but its longer shape is perfect for transitioning from summer to fall! We also brought back the Luna Robe, which was originally introduced during our Bridal Pajama Collection. No matter what style you go with, the Peacock Palace print is made for becoming a creature of comfort!
