Utopia Goods Launches Native Threads.

In Utopia Goods‘ latest offering, Native Threads, the Australian textiles brand combines old-world craft with innovative technologies. With the Australian landscape and native flora as muse, the new collection features a series of robust, UV resistant woven performance jacquards, produced from a partly post-consumer recycled yarn.

The colour palette weaves together to create new shades within the Utopia Goods collection, as the highly revered Australian botanicals Mottlecah and Stenocarpus Firewheel take centre stage. A spectrum of colour, the collection includes neutrals with a contemporary twist and the polyester fibre allows a very subtle lustre to play across the surface of the fabric.

The beautiful Firewheel print pays homage to the spectacular, bold, flowers which cover the canopy of the Stenocarpus sinuatus tree in summer. A new rendition of Utopia Goods’ ever-popular classic Firewheel – this new print sees the whorled flowers in various stages of bloom, and the blossoms dancing across the design. Traditionally found in Lucien Henry and Margaret Preston prints, this Firewheel print design explodes with vibrancy.

The Mottlecah is native to Western Australia and is loved for its large, spectacular flowers and saucer-like decorative gum nuts. The beautiful Mottlecah pattern, with its intertwined stems, resembles a twisted forest of eucalypts.

Utopia Goods always look to shine the spotlight on the natural world. The continued focus on endangered and threatened species of Australian flora, alongside efforts to work with new technologies in both ethical and sustainable practice is just the cherry on top of a beautiful new range.
