Our After Dark Collection continues with a gorgeous new Arts and Crafts inspired design: Briarwood. We looked to the Victorian masters of textile & interior design for the inspiration behind our newest pattern - delicate tendrils weave across the width of this wrap as little floral motifs and small birds form a stunning mirrored wrap.
The Arts and Crafts movement, popular in the Late Victorian and Early Edwardian periods, developed in Britain before spreading across Europe & the rest of the world. Famed for its focus on the natural world and folklore - the themes of the Arts & Crafts movement seem to sit perfectly within our After Dark Collection.
A focus on hand production, quality materials and functionality, were at the heart of this movement. The artists believed that the function of the decorated object should first be perfected before turning to the design - a perfect source of inspiration, then, for our woven wraps!
Textile and wallpaper designer William Morris was an inspiration for Oscha designer, Evonne. Morris' focus on the natural world, with twisting, turning vines and leaves interspersed with British wildlife formed the central concept for our fluid design.
"Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort" - John Ruskin
Featuring gorgeous intertwining vines which are scattered with little blossoms & sweet birds, Briarwood Night Garden is woven in a hybrid weave. Our navy warp forming the backdrop for shimmery golden hemp & bright emerald Britspun Supima cotton.
Strong and supportive this stunning wrap will need a little love to break in fully, before becoming super soft and mouldable.
