Upton - Apple Bee - Smokes

Delicate, detailed, and full of quiet character, the Upton Collection draws inspiration from the gentle signs of seasonal change - crab apple blossom, bees in flight, and the soft, sculptural forms of paperwhites. Each design in the collection began as a hand-drawn study, celebrating the understated beauty of British gardens and hedgerows. There’s a softness to Upton’s palette and composition, with prints that feel airy, graceful, and grounded in nature. Whether it’s the charm of drifting blossom, the quiet hum of bees, or the simplicity of a single stem, Upton offers a considered take on natural motifs - ideal for spaces that call for a light, elegant touch. Airy. Botanical. Effortlessly timeless

Apple Bee is a refined botanical stripe that builds upon and deepens the narrative of the Upton Collection. Evolving from its companion print, Apple Spray, this design introduces vertical structure with climbing apple blossom sprays interwoven between columns of the signature Noble Stripe motif. Bees and butterflies are delicately placed throughout, adding natural movement and charm to the soft Bud Green ground.

A thoughtful design development, Apple Bee bridges the gentle spontaneity of florals with the order of heritage stripe work - offering a beautifully composed pattern that feels both storied and fresh. Created with care and craftsmanship by The House of Abigail.
