Delighted to share my latest exclusive collaborati Delighted to share my latest exclusive collaboration with @thetangierbureau . My concept was to create a tablecloth inspired by Matisse cut outs, which Pin and her artisans in Tangier expertly interpreted from images I sent. The Embroidered Exotic Leaf Tablecloth is the perfect backdrop for the holiday season but will segue beautifully into spring and summer! Available in this glorious green but also in a delicious mustard/sky blue - see in stories!
