THE BAYBERRY is a small, round cranberry-magenta fruit with a slightly waxy, bumpy texture. It tastes refreshingly sweet and mildly tart. Bayberries are used in jams, jellies, and syrups, and their wax is traditionally harvested to make bayberry candles, which are burned during Christmas and the holiday season due to their seasonal role in festive decorations and the belief that burning them brings good fortune for the new year. This solid cranberry-magenta dupioni beautifully mirrors the bayberry, evoking a sense of vibrancy and warmth that enhances any festive celebration!
