Mermaid's Purse Fabric - Grey and White

$168.00
100% Belgian Linen - Oyster

Mermaid’s purse is the whimsical name given to the protective egg case of skates and some species of sharks. These leathery pouches often wash up along the shoreline, their tendrils clinging to seaweed like tiny sea treasures left behind by the tide. We’ve taken this delicate yet rugged form and transformed it into a hand-sketched textile pattern that captures the magic and mystery of coastal life.

Printed on eco-friendly Belgian oyster linen, our Mermaid’s Purse design is a clever nod to the coast—subtle enough for everyday use, yet detailed enough to start conversations. This midweight linen is ideal for upholstery, stunning window treatments, and even duvets and shams. Living at the beach is all about being in rhythm with nature. Choosing a textile that celebrates sea life while honoring sustainability is just one more way to bring that harmony indoors.

Mermaid's Purse Print Inspiration

They’re called Mermaid’s Purses for their pouch-like shape — like tiny handbags fit for a mermaid. These brown or black leathery egg cases once held baby skates or sharks. Finding them on the beach means these species are still breeding nearby, helping those who study marine life.

"I absolutely love the hand-sketched designs, coastal colors, and organic patterns! I was able to coordinate our Nautilus Shell wallpaper with custom Roman shades in the Wavy Stripe fabric and it really created a space that feels lively, welcoming, and completely in tune with our casual coastal life by the water.”
