CARAVAN: 2018 Mini Collection Series - April ~
Caravan is a mesmerizing journey through the Middle East. The motifs, shapes, patterns and color palette of this collection are drawn from the beauty of the region and include our first ever magnetic clasp!
Meet Kierston Aiello who originated the concept for Caravan. She is our Pattern and Tooling Facilitator and parts maker extraordinaire!
Second only to my passion for metalsmithing is my love and
enthusiasm for Art History. It was my major in college, and I continue to
dive headfirst into any book about the arts. I especially love the art of
South Asia as well as Islamic traditions in textiles and tiling. In designing
this new collection I was inspired by the intricate detailing that is so
masterfully applied in the material culture of these regions. I incorporated
granulation, a fascinating ancient decorative technique, into our Marrakesh
link. For our Mehndi drop, I was heavily inspired by the architectural shapes
of mosques and temples and the rich tradition of mehndi.
