Scrimshaw Ship-in-Bottle Flax Pouch design by Thomas Paul

Thomas Paul's accessories are made from a flax and cotton blend that is sturdy, yet soft to the touch. All accessories feature piped edges and intricate, embroidered detailing.

Scrimshaw is the name given to the detailed engravings and carvings done in bone or ivory, by whalers and sailors,  dating back as far as 1745.  

• Unbleached flax/cotton blend
• 8.5" x 10.5"
  
• Embroidered designs 

Thomas Paul's vision has always been about combining classic design motifs from different periods in textile design, incorporating anything from an 18th century Damask pattern to a camouflage print. The unifying thread between so many different styles is to change the designs so they are updated for today. In reducing down the colors and details, most designs are reduced to two or three colors and become very bold and wonderful prints.
