On the Design:

Connoisseurs will admire this vintage Zeki Múren’s design which explores a play of beige underscores floral patterns with a sensibility almost like English needlepoints, particularly in its jewel tone pastels like teal green, indigo blue, mauve purple, gold, rose pink. The polychromatic colorway strikes a gorgeous balance between cool & warm tones. One must admire the sheer attention to craft that achieves this sense of movement—a hallmark of Müren’s rare style.
