The Zulu Tapestry Collection represents a refinement of Sibu's previous Zulu Rust Collection with an emphasis on the textural qualities of Erna Janine's hand-woven Japanese textiles. A capule edition will be showcased on 23rd September: see NEWS Event. These designs use organic cotton and metallic yarns with Japanese indigo while employing Katazome and discharge dyeing techniques. This will be developed into the forthcoming Hotaru sub-brand range.
