Very spectacular printed design, inspired by an 18th century “calicot” fabric (an Indienne design from Calicut printed on a light weight cotton) from the Indian silk road.

This revisited tree of life shows stylized flowers and foliage which decorates a natural linen ground in unique colours with some tonic accents.
