FORECAST
As the seasonal palette transitions from blossomed trees and summer flowers displaying tones of red, blue, cream, and black, we move into a new season; one filled with the nostalgia of yesteryears, and the warmth of rekindling friendships and family. Coming out of pandemic, a time of despair and loneliness for many, we have learned what is important to us, and we are embracing simpler times. The pandemic put our routines and traditions on trials, but we have emerged just like the colors of fall emerging after a hot summer reminding us of the joy that lives within togetherness. The palette of color is transitioning into a cornucopia of colors rooted in rich, organic ancestry, and we are reminded of age-old traditions which have refreshed and reminded consumers of simpler times—times rooted in family, baking, and conversation are important.
