For her seaside excursion of hand-silk-screened organic cotton and hemp-linen textiles, which contrast turquoise, gray, and gold hues, the designer drew inspiration from washed-up ocean detritus, driftwood, and barnacles. The result is a Scandinavian-beach-house aesthetic that is at once rustic and modern.Point of interest: All of Rennell's clothing are ethically made in Northern California.
