Named after their great grandfather's road construction business, Texan sisters Susan and Katharine Hable founded the New York textiles company Hable Construction in 1999. Katharine, a born saleswoman with professional experience working at Kate Spade and Polo Ralph Lauren; and Susan, an artist inspired by nature and the handmade aesthetic, decided a business partnership would be a harmonious marriage of the siblings' talents. Paving roads of a different sort, the new generation of the family business merged their skill sets with an updated sensibility, aiming to create artfully distinctive and utilitarian products for everyday living.
The Hable sisters integrate practicality, sophistication, and timelessness into their line of home and personal accessories. A Hable print is known for its bold, graphic patterns comprised of abstracted motifs inspired by nature and dubbed with bright and classic colors. Adhering closely to their original vision is the practice of keeping the designs hand-drawn by Susan, and reproduced by skilled artisans who treat their work as a careful craft, employing traditional screenprinting procedures in an old New England factory.
