About This Collection:
Our winter collection White Valley has us reminiscing a long walk in a secluded, yet enchanting snowy valley in the Alps. With a touch of Muzungu whimsy, the prints cover alpine florals, and Safavid miniatures of flowers alike. Our classic styles are supplemented with velvet sets, and new hand-beaded evening dresses. With a nod to mountain flora from Kashmir to Switzerland, the silk prints and ornately beaded soft velvets encompass all you will want to wear this winter.
