There are fashionable quilt and then there are quilts that are in fashion, there is a distinct difference. The former is what A.P.C. is currently dealing in. The brand has created a collection of fashionable quilts that will appeal to millenials in a big way. Considering that there has been a shift towards rustic, country style, that doesn't come as a surprise.
What makes this fashionable quilt collection more special, however, is that it isn't simply made up of blankets. Designer Jessica Ogden has created a special line of accessories and household goods out of excess fabric the brand has collected over the last 27 years. Ogden says, "No fabrics are developed for this, which proves difficult because if you only have one meter of the surplus material, you can only use just a bit of it on an object."
