Palampore
Named after the lustrous Indian painted fabric panels, Palampore combines exotic Indienne-inspired and indigenous designs in a coordinated collection of fabrics and wallcoverings. The love affair with these decorated cloths became a European sensation in the 17th century as the vivid dying techniques were highly sought after and cotton was considered a luxury fabric and for bedcovers. Patterns in these collections include tree of life elements - influenced by traditional palampore textiles - Jacobean flowers, unique leaf and paisley motifs, decorative small-scale designs and printed paperweaves, as well as a playful tiger, tribal and batik prints, that naturally complement the fabrics.
