Leslie Freeman, Althea's mom, owned a popular children's clothing shop, where she created a successful line of children's clothing using hand-block printing.

Bristled, perhaps, at all the bars and bookshops wearing his name. Thankful, potentially, that his houses in Key West and Cuba have been so painstakingly preserved. Hemingway would be nearly as old as the Florida Keys themselves, which are celebrating their two-hundredth birthday all year long. We wanted to honor this milestone by collecting the private rooms and public spaces that remind us of old Ernest.
