L'Heure Bleue by Esté MacLeod

Beautiful blues! From intense deep indigo to the lightest tints of ice blue to vast cerulean skies and from the warm azure water lapping the Mediterranean coastline to moody grey-blue, stormy oceans, there is a hue of blue for every mood. Esté adores this omnipresent colour that envelopes our world day and night. Dusk is her favourite time of day — the twilight zone when the sky’s colours shift after the sun’s setting, and before night closes in. Time is suspended for a little while as colours deepen from a pale tint to petrol blue, before turning into an expanse of deep blue velvet sprinkled with stars. In French, it is known as “L’heure bleue” which resonated with Esté so she chose it as the name of her fabric collection inspired by the colour blue.
