Bespoke interiors brand June St. George unveiled its 'Eloise Collection,' a new range of products inspired by the Eloise at the Plaza universe to celebrate the character’s 70th anniversary. In partnership with Handmade Films America, Inc., the new products embody the timeless appeal of all things Eloise.
The collection includes fourteen unique designs, with most being customizable. Aside from two signature designs, customers can personalize pieces with a name or monogram. Several of the designs can be fully customized using the ‘Design Your Own’ tool, which allows clients to choose their colors from a selection of 180 wool poms or swatches and watch their design come to life with the real-time rendering tool. The designs also incorporate original patterns hand-drawn by Ally-Catherine befitting the Eloise universe, such as checkerboard floors, off-kilter stripes, and "Skidder," a signature pattern named after Eloise’s favorite game. Also prominently featured in the collection are taxi cabs, "Do Not Disturb" signs, and June St. George-style bows.
This focus on heirloom quality is evident in their meticulous selection of materials. The brand uses traceable, certified New Zealand wool to guarantee pieces are eco-friendly, cruelty-free, and ethically sourced. Likewise, pillows are handsewn in the US from designer-grade materials and filled with plush hypoallergenic, down alternative inserts.
