Hey there!

Do you love bright colors, bold prints, and believe in the statement “more is more”? Yes? Well, you’re definitely a Curated Maximalist and we’re super excited to show you a collection you’ll love! We’re super happy to announce Bari. J’s newest collection Joie de Vivre!

This bright collection is ideal for summer and it beautifully shows the essence of Bari’s style: vibrant, painterly, and bold! Joie de Vivre means an exuberant enjoyment of life in French, and Bari shows her joy with pretty flowers, delicate birds and butterflies, and cute pugs accompanied by edgy graphic prints.

To me there’s something special about this collection. Every time I look at the prints, they remind me of one of my favorite stores, Anthropologie because of the pretty florals and painterly elements that are uniquely stylish. I instantly imagine feminine summer dresses and throw pillows!

    I’ve loved Bari J for so long. This collection has me swooning. I believe I would love to work with the knits for some summer dresses for me and my granddaughter! The Mojave dress is too cute. But I also love the Boho bag !

    I LOVE this fabric. I would make the table runner for sure but also I would love to use the alphabet print and fussy cut initials for the zippy bags for my daughter’s bridesmaids as a little gift. Wedding is in August.

    This collection is perfect for my style and colouring. Really love it. I’d start by making a dress in the Paradis Citrus with contrast piping to pick out some of the key colours. I’d then make a little jacket in a contrasting plain (haven’t yet decided which one) and make self covered buttons out of the Paradis Citrus and a little clutch bag. I think this would make a super little outfit that I’d love to make and love to wear. Thank you!
