About The Collection:
This fall-winter, we journey into Indian folklore and storytelling around the world to honour life's cycles and the strength of community. Rooted in sacred symbols like mandalas, spirals, and the Tree of Life, the collection celebrates family, peace, fertility, and nature's wisdom. Mythical creatures and folklore-inspired prints come alive through handcrafted patchwork and appliqué, while new tailoring and outerwear - including the quilted Luna Coat, Suzy Pants, and Sally Blazer - bring structure to our signature whimsy. Folktale Whispers speaks a universal language of connection, ritual and the timeless power of women across cultures.
