Seaweed Damask
A blend of tradition and innovation, Eliora has embarked on journey to redefine the essence of damask through a fusion of Victorian-era hobbies and contemporary textile design. Inspired by the archival treasures of the textile industry, this project breathes new life into the classic damask motif by infusing it with the charm of Victorian seaweed collecting.
