Alpa Mistry




Who likes things with colourful stripes? I know I do and I adore these knick-knacks from Alpa Mistry's textile based collection. Alpa Mistry, a woven textile designer based in London, produces exclusive accessories for fashion and bold interior artworks. Her work is defined by an imaginative, distinctive use of colour, balance and proportion of line.

Each piece is individually designed and hand-woven on a 24 shaft George Wood dobby loom. The colours are translated into hand-dyed silks and then finely woven in sateen and plain weaves, creating textile pieces with contrasts of sheer and solid fields of colour. Simple and serene to fun and quirky. Check out the wares at her website .
