Shop The Vale London at Fabricut

At first glance, one quickly realizes The Vale of London is an effortless blend of traditional and modern, masculine and feminine, sophisticated and edgy — an accurate reflection of its founder — American-born, London-bred, global-minded, Melinda Marquardt.

After working in the home textile world for a decade, Melinda noticed a lot of similarities across a multitude of brands in terms of color, design, and quality. The Vale was founded on a love for individuality, fine art, and a passion for unique and luxurious home goods. The Vale’s exquisite textiles start as hand-rendered, original works of art. Each print and pattern show the artist’s hand and beckons admirers to get closer to discover the intricate and sharp details uniquely informed by Melinda’s formal training as a fine artist.

Many patterns reflect the interiors of London townhomes where Melinda grew up, evoking a sense of nostalgia and comfort, of storied traditions and nods to classic luxury. Each Vale collections’ namesake is an area of London explored by Melinda as a child or discovered as an adult.

While The Vale’s collections share a deep sense of home, many prints and patterns are inspired by global travels. A sense of wonder and curiosity is evident in each collection and offers viewers a glimpse of faraway lands and ancient artisanship. One is transported to the flora-filled jungles of Panama or a safari in Tanzania. The influence and blend of global, artisanal traditions are apparent within each collection. From Venetian marbling to West African mud painting, all art forms are celebrated and serve as inspiration. The Vale’s collections can be playful and full of surprise or tempered and traditional. It’s the juxtaposition of classic design paired with modern interpretations that makes The Vale so unique.
