Custom Handwoven Textiles
La Pequeña Textiles works with private collectors, interior designers, and creative professionals to develop custom handwoven textiles for all interiors.
Traditional weaving structures are reimagined at contemporary scales and proportions: overshot coverlets become generously sized textiles for modern beds and interiors; handwoven yardage becomes window dressings and Roman shades; woven cloth is made into custom pillows in dimensions suited to the room rather than a standard retail size.
Each project begins with the textile itself — its structure, scale, color, texture, and relationship to the space it will inhabit. Working from a designer's concept, palette or dimensions, Sara develops and weaves each piece by hand in her Kingston, New York studio.
The result is something that feels connected to the history of weaving without looking like a reproduction of it.
Bedspreads and Overshot Coverlets
La Pequeña is inspired by traditional overshot weaving structures, reinterpreting their intricate patterns through a contemporary lens. Classic structures can be personalized and developed at larger scales and in unexpected color combinations, with variations in yarn weight, pattern proportion, and overall dimension.
Name drafting offers another way to make a textile uniquely personal. Words, letters, or the lyrics of a favorite song can be transformed into a pattern created specifically for a project. The resulting design carries the history and geometry of traditional weaving while incorporating a quiet, personal detail that is unique to an individual or client.
Sara does not reproduce historic coverlets, instead, each textile is considered for the space it will inhabit — whether that means developing generous proportions for a modern bed, personalizing a traditional pattern to create a stronger graphic presence, or translating the design into a throw, upholstery textile, or decorative textile.
