Embroideries
Alyssum

Artemis
Part of The Met x Ann Gish collection.
Inspired by a Tang Dynasty dish, this embroidery employs floral motifs in an arcing repeat.
Dowry
- Part of The Met x Ann Gish collection.
- Inspired by a cup from Ancient Egypt given to the Pharoah as part of a dowry, hence its name in our line, Dowry. With this cup, two things immediately stood out - the color palette and the ogee shape of the cup itself. To highlight those two parts of the design, we began with a freehand ogee layout, then filled in the background with that gorgeous terra cotta color, as well as contrasting and complementary tones. The result is a stunning embroidered design, rich in both history and colors.
Inro

Inspired by an Edo-period basket, this embroidery features amber and taupe threads on a black linen cotton ground.

Inspired by Egyptian and Iranian tiles, Inzik’s elegant floral motif in a classic white and indigo color palette translates beautifully to textile for the Met x Ann Gish collaboration.

Qasaba
Part of The Met x Ann Gish collection.
