Scandinavia 2.0 features colorful and uplifting geometric motifs tied to memories of Pearson’s “family and travel in the Nordic countries,” she says.

They feature polyester yarns in seven or nine different colors woven into durable, bleach-cleanable fabrics that can withstand up to 100,000 double rubs.
