SHELBURNE, Vt. (WCAX) – A New England eco-friendly clothing, bedding and home decor company launched a new line Thursday that’s inspired by a Vermont museum’s collection.
Garnet Hill and the Shelburne Museum partnered on the new collection.
The Shelburne Museum has one of the largest textile collections in the country and it was a key collection for the museum’s founder.
Both Garnet Hill’s designer and the Shelburne Museum’s assistant curator told us recreating historical collections was a fun experience.
“They were sitting down with the actual textiles and trying to figure out how to approximate a historic color of a textile in a modern reproduction has been it was a great sort of pleasure to go through,” said Katie Wood Kirchoff, the assistant curator at the Shelburne Museum.
“Shelburne’s got such a vast archive that it was like being a kid in a candy store trying to pick just one of them, so it felt like a very natural fit,” Garnet Hill Designer Vanessa Romeo said.
