After designer Liz Lambert helped create the Hotel San Cristobal (2012) in Todos Santos in Baja California Sur, Mexico, she fell in love with the place and made it her retreat in 2018. Its furnishings include textiles and carpets from the Perennials by Far West, designed for Perennials and inspired by local craftsmanship.

Her love of striped patterns became a leitmotif of Campo Stripe, where horizontal patterns with colorful details become two-dimensional; Serape Stripe was inspired by the traditional blankets and uses 26 colors in the weave for a vibrant multicolored striped pattern; Tejas Stripe is an exuberant outdoor covering with a lightweight, vivacious pattern.

Then there is Baja Stripe, a pattern with highly structured and colorful stripes in three versions, including the blue Azul design; there is Roadrunner Stripe with wide stripes perfect for sofas and benches in two color versions; and finally, Playa Stripe, a flat weave rug with a simple design, featuring a colorful striped edge on two sides, suitable for indoors or outdoors.

“Perennials by Far West is a journey through my passion for striped patterns,” Liz Lambert explains. “We were inspired by hand-woven striped fabrics that I’ve collected throughout my career and travels. As we went through the entire collection, we discovered a new beauty in putting the pieces next to each other and seeing how they interacted.”
