10th birthday collection Having travelled to India for so many years now, it’s no secret how special the country and its people are to me. I feel privileged to have such wonderful friends and colleagues to work with. I’d especially like to thank all the craftsmen and women for their amazing skills that have helped make our 10th anniversary collection so special. The people of India are inspiring in their creativity, employing age-old techniques that add soul and embody the lasting value of the lovingly hand-made. To mark our 10th birthday, we’re venturing beyond the bedroom, creating a sensual new collection of kaftans, scarves, towels and table linen. Screen-printed fabrics and handcrafted finishes provide sumptuous, earthy detail and tactile delight. Of course, you can also explore a stunning new range of bed linen that roams the globe in a journey of natural discovery – from understated Scandinavian cool to the passionate heat of Morocco. I hope you’ll find something special to add beauty and enjoyment to your home.
