The Beauty of India Collection: Life Among the Arches Fabrics

Enjoy peacocks, hoopoe birds & Luna moths enjoying philodendrons, “Wandering Dude” vines, fuchsia, lotus, and anubias gracilis among iconic arches including those of Diwan-i-Am (in Delhi), and the Ruins of Church of St. Augustine (in Goa). The Beauty of India Collection includes the “Life Among the Arches” design, and “Luna Moths and Fuchsia”.

For all designs within The Beauty of India collections, I design from outside the cultures that first inspired these aesthetics, and I’m committed to approaching them as an admirer and guest—never as a spokesperson.
