Sheer grey leaf-print wrap, Quiet Gray sub-collection

Captured in Cloth is a textile collection inspired by the dynamic interplay of light and shadows. Rooted in Impressionist influences, the collection explores how fleeting natural phenomena can be translated into tangible textile designs.

The collection comprises three sub-collections — Quiet Gray, Luminous Afternoon, and Golden Harmony — each capturing a different phase of daylight. Through meticulous weaving and printing techniques, twelve textiles bring ephemeral beauty into the material world, resonating with both fashion and interior design.
