From luxurious Chinese brocades and intricately embroidered Kashmiri shawls, to the vibrant ikats of Uzbekistan and modern Arabic calligraphy designs, the diversity of art and textiles from across Asia reflects its history of great empires and civilisations.
Crafted through centuries-old techniques and passed down through generations, textiles capture the philosophical and spiritual beliefs of societies, as well as their ingenuity and harmony with the environment.
Wrap yourself in the elegance of a Turkish Ebru print or an Arabic calligraphy design captured in silk. Our next collection will bring hand woven jamdani cottons from Bangladesh. Nahara offers you beautiful designs, together with a meaningful connection to the spirituality and rich heritage of Asia.
Feel beautiful, feel inspired.
