The Evolution Of Our Signature Stitch Pattern

Continuing our celebration of our 15th Anniversary, we’re taking another look at a Unison signature design – the Stitch pattern.

Stitch was initially introduced as a collection of throw pillows in 2010, made in the USA of hand screen-printed fabric. The idea behind the design was to create an all-over solid print with a subtle texture. To achieve this, we placed a simple dash mark against a solid background color, creating a hint of illumination. Each dash was drawn by hand to create slight variations and a natural quality within the fabric.

The simplicity of the pattern allowed for several unique color combinations, which bridged our overall collection that included everything from bold stripes to woven inspired prints. The name “Stitch” emerged from the repetitive stitch-like quality of the dash marks. Over the years, it’s been applied to a variety of textiles and products, like aprons, placemats and even gift wrap.

Stitch expanded into bedding in 2013, where we saw the strength of the pattern as a single color scheme and pushed its graphic contrast with a reversible format. The versatility of reversible bedding allowed the individual to determine which side suited their mood or home environment.

We like the variety this option offers, as well as the aspect of the print being both soft and bold at the same time. The bedding is printed in Portugal on 100% cotton percale fabric and produced to OEKO-TEX® standards. We work with OEKO-TEX®, one of the world’s best known labels for product safety, to ensure that our bedding and bath collections are free of harmful substances — made safely with the environment and your well-being in mind.

In 2017, we turned this customer favorite into a bath collection. Available as a shower curtain, bath towel, hand towel and washcloth, these additions adapt easily to any bathroom and can infuse a modern look into your space. Our towel collection is made of 100% OEKO-TEX® certified cotton and features the same reversible design as our duvet covers.

Then in late 2018, the newest member of the Stitch family – the Stitch Rug – was added to our selection. Crafted in India exclusively for Unison, it mixed cool, blue undertones with bright flecks of citrus colors, bringing a cheery duality to your space.

Since its launch, the Stitch pattern has been a customer favorite and mainstay in Unison’s permanent collection. In combinations of black, white and pewter, you can mix-and-match Stitch with other classic Unison patterns throughout your home for a timeless, modern look.
