Behind the Design: Dallas Toile
Creative Living
by Elizabeth Kurzweg
Our Toile Collection features cities from all over the world, but our Texas toiles are especially close to our heart. Each icon is always handpicked to tell a story through the things its residents know and love. For our Dallas Toile, we looked to sisters Lizzie Means Duplantis and Sarah Means, founders of the bespoke boot brand Miron Crosby. They founded the brand in 2017 in Dallas. Their love of the city and luxury fashion made them the perfect choice to help create this iconic Texas Toile.
ABOUT THE ICONS:

Fair Park covers 277-acres just east of downtown Dallas. It's known for the history it holds, architecture, and events that take place within the park, including the State Fair of Texas.
COWBOY BOOTS
The Margretta is the most popular boot from bespoke luxury boot brand Miron Crosby. Margretta is bursting with their signature jumping stars, reminiscent of the West Texas night skies.

The Reunion Tower offers amazing 360-degree views of the Dallas Skyline. It is 531 feet tall, with three floors at the top that include stunning viewing decks and even the iconic steakhouse Crown Block.
