Shabd for Sakura Bloom. The Final 13.

Shabd for Sakura Bloom. A delicate balance of colors, embedded into just 13 one-of-a-kind pieces. Crafted from soft Irish flax, spun and woven to perfection, each linen sling is hand-dyed by the artist whose work Refinery 29 called "irresistibly delicious," and who was cited by Teen Vogue as being “one of the leading dye-artists of her time."

Tapping into the elements of our natural world, we bring you the final 13 slings hand-dyed for us by acclaimed designer and textile artist Shabd Simon-Alexander. These playful experiments in color and design come to life on a backdrop of lightweight, summer-ready linen. 10 single-layer Pure beauties and 3 double-layer Essential Linens.

Combining art with function, each of our Sakura Bloom X Shabd collaborations have celebrated the artist's unique talent in color blending and style, and we couldn't be more excited to release this collection of one-of-a-kind linen slings.

Shop opens tomorrow, Tuesday, July 12th at 10am PDT.

All proceeds of this collection will be donated to benefit our friend Cheri in her fight against breast cancer.
