Almedahls 1950s Belle Amie fabric

Belle-amie-scandinavian-fabric
Another great reissue from Almedahls, this time the 1950s Belle Amie fabric – a 1950s design by Marianne Westman. 

If the floral, white and blue pattern reminds you of something, it could be Westman's own Mon Amie tableware design designed at around the same period (and which we featured last year when they introduced it onto some new designs). A classic and pretty pattern, it's bound to add some Scandinavian style to your home. 

The fabric costs £19.95 a metre.
