Bahaar finds its inspiration in a traditional Shikargah - a type of design that depicts hunting scenes. Traditionally, it featured hunters wielding weapons while pursuing wild animals. Shikargahs have been much glorified in Persian and Mughal designs, including a mid-17th century embroidered silk coat housed in London’s V&A Museum. Our Bahaar, while paying tribute to an ancient tradition, however, is a space where animals aren’t hunted at all. Rather they frolic and play in a natural forest that protects them. • 60%-wool yarn,30%-silk yarn,10%-cotton yarn • akws-7041(cm-01) - peach dust / amethyst • akws-7041(cm-01) - wasabi / gray brown • modern
