Before Elaine Smith, al fresco entertaining was a distinctly less beautiful and desirable experience. Outdoor furnishings and accessories featured fabrics that were weather-proof, but never as soft and stylish. But then in 2003, the successful interior and home accessory designer discovered textiles as lush as they were tough. Their fine fibers could withstand Mother Nature and human nature, resisting sun, rain, and stains.

Inspired by her dual loves of exotic locales and natural wonders and working with this fabric, Elaine created the world’s first and only line of outdoor luxury pillows. Rich in color, lavish in detail, and of course, impervious to the elements, Elaine’s first outdoor collections were such a resounding success, she decided to develop her company’s efforts into becoming the leader in this exciting category.
