As for this fabric, before the Toile des caraïbes design became a fabric it was a drawing sketched by Louis herself. “I began to draw the things I saw around me growing up in Haiti. I came to the realization that none of these visuals were reflected in wallpapers or fabrics.”
Once she tapped into her Haitian heritage and childhood memories, the ideas couldn’t stop flowing.
