ORIGINS #6 - This pillow embodies the meeting of two extraordinary natural materials: heirloom brown cotton and tixinda, the natural dye derived from caracol púrpura, the rare Pacific snail whose purple is gathered with deep respect for tradition. Both materials are treasures of nature, revered for their rarity and enduring beauty. The result is a piece with exquisite texture and unfading colors, carrying forward a story as lasting as the cotton itself—a true collector’s piece.

- Available on September 1st.
- Custom pieces are possible.

Origins is a collection of six pillows, handwoven with rare heirloom cotton from Mexico, grown in its natural color. Harvested only in small quantities each year, this cotton is unruly, precious, and deeply tied to the land and the Indigenous weavers who transform it. Designed for those who understand that timelessness begins in Nature; these pieces carry more than beauty. They embody heritage, perpetuate ancestral knowledge, and bring the rhyme of the earth into the home.

A few weeks ago, the 74th International Art Fair ( ) took over Marseille, transforming the iconic hotel into a vibrant hub for contemporary creation.

As part of this beautiful and bold initiative, I was invited by — alongside talented makers and .garciadelbarrio — to co-create a textile installation: Myriade.

Myriade is a contemporary textile piece made entirely by hand. It consists of a pair of curtains crafted from wild heirloom cotton I sourced, naturally dyed with indigo, and hand-embroidered with mother-of-pearl and nacre fragments.

Inspired by the Mediterranean coast — its textures, colors, and richness — this work evokes the myriads of seashells scattered like fleeting treasures on the sand. Myriade is a tribute to slow craft, nature, and the poetry of the sea.

So grateful for the opportunity 💙 bravo et merci Caroline 💙

Our Story

By Maud Lerayer. Since 2017.

We are a modern textile company whose designer is mother nature. We create timeless, contemporary pieces for your home through ancient, manual techniques.

Our textiles are made with heart by master weavers in Mexico and Guatemala. The inspiration for each season’s collection is nature’s harvest, how her rainfall, sunlight and wind affect the texture and colors of our raw materials.

Our rare, organic cotton grows wild in natural, dye-free shades of blush, cream, terra-cotta and green, in the remote villages of our artisans.
