Premium Linen Fabric Collection

Elegant designs rooted in nature and history

The elegant Shala collection draws inspiration from ancient mythology and is named after Shala, the ancient Sumerian goddess of both grain and compassion. Reflecting this, each design incorporates an element from the natural world, such as a head of grain in Albertina, rich botanical fruit motifs in Exotic Fruits, and an intricate Indian flower pattern in Shala. Aptly, Shala is also a Sanskrit word meaning “home, abode”, beautifully referencing the feelings of warmth and serenity that we believe this collection expresses.

Shala consists of three designs, all crafted with the utmost quality, using printed linen fabric. Exotic Fruits is a trailing botanical print taken from an 18th-century chinoiserie archive fragment. Shala features a wide stripe with small-scale floral detailing, based on an ancient Indian design. Albertina, a classic French toile design, rounds off the collection. These fabric prints are taken from original historic designs in the Crowson Archive, and the colours and patterns have been carefully redeveloped to offer a more contemporary take of today’s interiors, making them ideal choices for those seeking distinctive printed fabric for their home decor.
