Oleander Fabric, Silent Swan

Inspired by the resilient Tuscan oleander, this fabric honors every delicate detail, capturing the essence of the plant’s timeless beauty. Known for its vibrant, showy flowers in shades of pink, white, and yellow, the oleander thrives under the warm embrace of full sun.

This design also holds a special meaning for Otea, paying tribute to Aunt Oleanda, who lovingly raised her and embodied the strength and grace of this enduring shrub. Each hand-painted detail is a homage to Aunt Oleanda’s spirit, weaving personal history with botanical artistry.

The hand-painted pattern flows gracefully across organic linen, allowing the natural texture and depth of the material to shine.

"I am almost past the edge of town when I feel their hold at the back of my heart. A wall of tall grass and crimson flower that casts the spell: you are one of us, forever. You’ve got us on your skin and through your black stallion hair. We are the very stuff from which your marrow is made. Aunt Oleanda and Aunt Ida.  I was left here to live on with them. To learn what it means for life to do no more and no less than just last. They call them spinsters. Zitelle. Oleanda, with her face like a flat stone, betraying nothing. Ida the fox, hunting a form of freedom found only in the facts. They watch from the window like a pair of silent swans as I race through the fields with my feather." - XO, Otea
