Getting tangerine into our work

Since we learned that tangerine is the “color of the year” we have been having fun incorporating it in our work. We wanted to create a completely new stripe that can be used for a new handbag collection. Looking around us we found a servilleta – the napkins we use for everything, for wrapping tortillas to stay warm, for carrying tamales to another family, for wiping our hands – that had a tangerine stripe in it. Below you can see a photo of that servilleta, and then you can the new striped fabric that it inspired. (But when you see the actual handbags, you will see we have exchanged the white for a light blue…)
