Succulents is the first collection for Windham Fabrics by Heather Givans, owner of the fabric store Crimson Tate. Succulents is a sophisticated collection with a touch of humor. Featuring hand drawn succulent plants along with a text print describing “How to Care for Succulents,� this collection is a fabulous contemporary conversational. The range of greens and blues found within these fabrics are derived from nature and are emphasized through medium and small scale prints that offset the grand parade of succulent plants, which showcases a boarder print perfectly suited for apparel.
