Maya is naïve and charming in the best sense: a hand-embroidered design inspired by traditional floral indiennes, evoking a primitive jungle scene, like a dream of a lost paradise. The hand-stitching is essential to its character — each bloom and creeper carries the slight waywardness of needlework — so the jungle feels remembered rather than catalogued. It is a fabric with genuine innocence, which is far harder to achieve than sophistication.
