I confess: I still sing “Heaven is a Place on Earth” in the shower — okay, and at karaoke. And I cheer a little when it comes on during a party, so I was thrilled to hear that Belinda Carlisle, the singer behind the pop classic is back on the scene. Carlisle, who was also the lead vocalist of the Go-Go’s, has launched Belindia, a home collection now available at Bergdorf Goodman.
The ’80s girl-power icon looked to some of her favorite places for inspiration for the line, and consequently, each piece is inscribed with “Delhi, Nice, Malibu.” The collection features blankets, throws, pillows and table top items such as place mats, runners and napkins in florals and two-tone color blocks.
Belindia’s blankets and throws are produced in association with — and a portion of the proceeds go to — Shuktara Project, a Calcutta-based charity that offers care to abandoned children with disabilities. Now, that’s fashion that brings heaven a little closer to earth.

Belinda Carlisle for the Cross
The Cross girls jump at the chance for a good dance, so imagine our toe-tapping delight when we heard that we are going to be working with Belinda Carlisle!
Having fronted glittering girl band The Go Go’s, Belinda later enjoyed great success as a solo artist, secured in our hearts with the legendary Heaven is a place on Earth.
Originally from LA, Belinda and her husband of 26 years Morgan Mason now share their time between France and India, giving Belinda the chance to follow new passions outside of music.
“With both of our professions, we can live anywhere, so we thought, why not live our dream? I’ve been to India a few times, and I love it so much that I got a little place there too. I do a lot of yoga and have a little business there.”
We’re delighted to be working with Belinda in her business ‘Belindia’ – introducing a new and exciting line of fine Indian textiles.
