"Garden Bloom" embroidery set - FIL RELAX x BOOKHOU
"Garden Bloom" embroidery set - FIL RELAX x BOOKHOU
“ Flower Garden ” is inspired by Arounna’s passion for nature. She is interested in shapes and colors and uses them in her images of made flowers. For Arounna, the graphic and bold shapes give the work a modern touch, in reference to vintage work.
Sweetness invites itself in this edition. The play of colors and the texture of Julie Asselin's wool warm our hearts.
