Description

Bland is anathema to Carlos Mota. As he travels the world—from Lisbon to Tangier, India to Santo Domingo, New York to Paris—producing feature stories and ad campaigns for countless publications and companies, he exults in every spark of originality and creativity he sees.

Fortunately for us, he not only documents his sightings with his camera but also collects images by a Who’s Who of interiors and architectural photographers. And in this volume, he has culled some 280 of his favorite images, all wholly different but all sharing one quality: the beauty of color, both literally and figuratively.

There are interiors, table settings, fabric swatches, tiles, floral arrangements, sculptures, architectural ornamentation—whatever captures his discriminating eye. Peppered with quotes about color and beauty by a host of designers, Beige Is Not a Color is the antithesis of bland and as aspirational as it is inspirational.

Customer photo review of GG Blooms Pink Vintage Scarf Drawstring Crossbody Bag

The purse is really adorable. The velvet backing is sturdy and the interior has a little pocket/divider. The only thing I'd change is the way the "Gucci" tag was sewed on - it's a little askew.

Customer photo review of Bolduc Ribbon Orange Vintage Silk Scarf Coffee Run Keychain Bag

This is a beautifully made accessory that perfectly holds 4-5 lipsticks making them easy to access in my purse. The craftsmanship is lovely and the interior fabric and velvet backing fabric perfectly match the Hermes scarf. The customer service was excellent. My order was shipped by US Postal Service and delayed. Tracking said it was in Guam and then Hawaii. I appreciated the prompt responses to my inquiries- so professional! David promptly sent out a replacement. Ultimately they both arrived and I’ll send one back. Thank you!

Customer photo review of Rubans du Cheval Venetian Red Vintage Scarf Drawstring Crossbody Bag

I was so happy to find your site. I love vintage scarves and can never seem to get them to look right on me. So when I saw your gorgeous repurposing of these fabulous scarves, I knew I had to have one. It lets me wear it in a beautiful, new way!

Rubans du Cheval Venetian Red Vintage Scarf Drawstring Crossbody Bag

I was very excited about this clever concept. I feel this is a fun and responsible way to use luxury textiles. The execution sadly fails with the ‘ crystal’ or whatever material it is, drop part. It looks very cheap and therefore takes away from the earrings as a whole.

Customer photo review of GG Lilac Vintage Silk Necktie Bag Charm

Stunning piece! I’m so excited to wear this gorgeous bag charm and tell everyone who asks its story. What a wonderful way to up-cycle vintage pieces. I love it so much and will recommend to all my friends!

GG Lilac Vintage Silk Necktie Bag Charm

It was not quite as exciting as I thought it would be. Good idea, but the leather strap is way too long for my Hermes Evelyne. I had to wrap it around the strap hardware several times. The quality of the charm itself is nice though.

FROM THE FOUNDER

I won't list a piece I wouldn't put in my own home. Twenty years of luxury retail taught me what authentic looks like — and what doesn't.
