Our Story

     Armed with more than two decades of experience in the textile industry, and motivated by the desire to create more healthful surroundings, I founded Oliveira Textiles in 2007 and introduced 'The Ocean Collection': contemporary coastal patterns printed on hemp and organic cotton. Through extensive research I found that consumers absolutely want to use their purchasing power to support thoughtfully produced goods.  I'm proud to be a part of that shift. 

Oliveira Textiles' stock fabrics and custom color options are offered through my Bristol RI studio. I am always working on new designs and welcome new freelance collaborations and licensing opportunities. I sell fabric by the yard and finished pillows. Please don't hesitate to call the studio at 401-332-9898 or email us at oliveiratextiles@gmail.com I'm glad to send swatches anywhere in the world.

NEW - Design Me A House Podcast and Website Here’s a description of the podcast as stated by host Katie Hutchison: At Design Me A House, architect/designer/author Katie Hutchison and textile designer/educator Dawn Oliveira share insight into home design and design for the home. Design isn’t an added extra, an extravagance, a nicety; it’s a holistic process that drives the creation of homes that nurture and reflect our best selves to ourselves and within our communities. Katie and Dawn aim to demystify and humanize home design and design for home. So grab a cup of coffee, and join us for some friendly design chat to inspire and inform your home and, by extension, to inspire and inform your life. We’d love to know what you think. Send ideas and questions to info@designmeahouse.com.
