THE ART OF ADORNMENT

As the eye delights in colour it is also attracted to anything with a glint or a glimmer. Sometimes, we are magpies all: collecting the magic of reflected light and placing it where it sings. 

For centuries, artisans in all cultures have tried to catch the light and fasten it to cloth. Pieces of glass, a shard of mirror, iridescent beetle backs, or a sliver of mica. Reflective elements were added to give a textile auspicious power, and to make it beautiful.

All that sparkles is easily within reach now, with our collections of sequins, zardozi threads, and embroidery tools.
