The Charleston Toile Capsule Collection: A Love Letter to Lowcountry Elegance
Charleston has always been more than a place to me — it’s where my creative eye was shaped, where historic architecture lined my everyday walk, and where the relaxed coastal beauty lived side by side with centuries of artistry. The Charleston Toile Capsule Collection is my way of preserving that feeling: a celebration of Lowcountry charm expressed through crisp, modern engraving-style linework and timeless toile de Jouy storytelling.
Each piece in the collection brings a little Charleston into the everyday — whether it’s a silk scarf draped over a shoulder, a set of pajamas worn on a slow Sunday morning, or a piece of home décor that instantly warms a room. This capsule blends tradition with modern ease, giving Charleston lovers and design enthusiasts a way to experience the city’s elegance wherever they live.
A Modern Take on a Southern Classic
Like all Hughes Studio patterns, the Charleston toile is drawn in the Signature Linework Style — crisp black-and-white contour lines, minimal shading, and balanced white space that gives every illustration room to breathe. The scenes feature Charleston’s most beloved motifs:
Historic architecture inspired by Broad Street, Rainbow Row, and Battery-side porches
Winding coastal landscapes, palms, and live oaks with trailing Spanish moss
Southern lifestyle scenes that layer charm, humor, and warmth into traditional toile composition
This blend of heritage and freshness is what makes the Charleston capsule so wearable, giftable, and decor-ready.
