Bonjour again!

L CORNE

I put down my brush, all details are complete—et voilà, it’s fall 2015. Welcome to our world of romance, timeless style, and radiant color. All the very, very best, à tout à l’heure April

Our first stop is the

Parisian Underground, sometime in the 1930s, when sophisticated style, café society, and meandering through the streets after dark bring mystery and romance.

English Garden in late summer or early fall. It could be any decade really. The cottages roses and sweet floral prints are timeless. As the fall hues deepen, sometimes Indian Summer surprises us—a gift of warmth and rich color—that will soon depart. And, as if this were but a dream, we sample our nighties for this collection and return to autumn’s golden spices and the Magical Childhood. Our journey in this catalog ends with a touch of bohemian, a style we call Stockholm. Enjoy your travels. Magically, we enter an

a hand up, not a hand out keeping traditions alive We have been manufacturing in India for almost 40 years. In fact, we so fell in love with the place—the craft, the textiles, the expertise, and the people of India—that 24 years ago, we opened an office in New Delhi. Then, in 1992, we started our own factory. Just three years ago, we moved to a new space, painted it magenta, planted bougainvillea and flowering tress, and made our “girls mean business” statement in the heart of industrial India. Owned by a woman and run by a woman, we feel unique in the world of global manufacturing. Here we proudly employ more than 350 skilled tailors, pattern makers, cutting masters, embroidery designers, production experts, and fabric experts in a factory that matches the standards and the style of our Vermont-based headquarters. All our fabrics are designed by us.The prints, the patterns, and even the weaves are sourced in India, truly the wealthiest nation of textiles. Here the respect for art, design and craft, apprenticeship and skill still exists. We strive to include these wonderful skills in our clothes and in our linens, to keep alive these arts that, once common, are now quickly disappearing.

Cover look: Kindness Dress with Tapestry Leggings & French Beret shown on page 5 We would like to thank Melange on Main, Burlington, and Ginny Joyner Studios, Colchester, Vermont, for their generosity in sharing their imaginative interiors for our location photography. © 2015 April Cornell Online LLC

We believe in making a difference in the world, where we live, and where we work. As a company with deep roots in Canada, USA, and India, we are truly global and believe that giving back is part of our corporate responsibility. For years, the April Cornell Company has supported projects for mothers and children, for first generation learners, for the blind and the handicapped, for the imprisoned and the homeless. It has been our blessing and our privilege to give a hand up, not a hand out to others in need. In India, where our factory gives us so much beautiful product, so much craft and skill, we give back with every item we make to those in need. We also support a variety of fund-raising events and such charitable organizations as Concern India. For more about our giving back, visit us at www.givingworldfoundation.org

exclusive, limited edition designs by april cornell Loving hands touch each piece of apparel and linens from start to finish. From concept and design through product development— transferring original designs into patterns, fabrics into samples—April and her design team in the US and India work collaboratively to produce two collections each year. Because we manufacture at our own factory most of the goods we sell, we create limited editions and try our very best to produce enough merchandise to satisfy what you—our dear customers—want. Sometimes, we under produce, which is why we urge you to purchase that must-have early in the season before it sells out. With few exceptions—like April’s favorites—we rarely bring an item back exactly the same way. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. We hope you enjoy your journey through our Fall 2015 Collection. discover our complete collections at aprilcornell.com

our jacquard tablecloth collection I absolutely adore a fine jacquard textile. Perhaps it’s that I’m so fond of the fine people, the artisans responsible for these masterworks, or maybe I’m a sucker for the hand-knotted fringe detail. Truth be told: I’m pretty sure it’s the undeniable beauty of how our patterns translate to such credible, multi-toned weaves. They really are breathtaking. Imported cotton.
