Tom's eco-friendly Ikat collection is made from sustainable hemp and uses vegetable dyes for the deep, vibrant hues that are a key part of the look.

I also loved seeing the huge amount of new additions to Safavieh's line of flat weaves. As you can see from the selection show above, the mix of pattern and colors is fresh, relaxed and easy-care livable with a touch of classic decorating glam. The projected retail price points are very reasonable, too.
