Mermaid's Purse Fabric - Navy and Flax

“Mermaid's Purse" is an endearing term for the egg cases of skates and some species of sharks. These leggy black leathery shells are often found at the tidelines – tangled up in a cluster. Their fascinating shapes and textures inspired us to hand-sketch and print them onto Belgian Linen, a high-quality fabric made from flax, producing a beautifully detailed and tactile fabric. This pattern is brought to life in our navy Mariner’s Blue Natural Linen.

Great designs make sense in their settings. For coastal homes, that means using patterns and colors that reflect the environment. Mermaid’s Purse in Mariner’s Blue feels right at home—its form comes from the sea, and its deep navy on natural linen pairs easily with other coastal elements like driftwood, rattan, and whitewashed walls. Whether for upholstery, curtains, or bedding, it’s a smart, versatile choice that connects the indoors with the world just outside your door.
