Global

Lighthouse Top: 100% cotton, hand dyed fabrics made in India, designed by Ace and Jig of Brooklyn, NY. Known for their textiles, Ace and Jig works with a sustainable textile mill in India and artisans who weave on handlooms. Part of the beauty of their timeless garments are the texture, color, & patterns.

Timeless

Vintage Floral Mina and Zahara Bag in Amber Brocade: Our fabric handbags, a staple of the Mushmina brand, are created to share with you the colorful spirit of Moroccan culture. Mushmina designs new limited-edition woven upholstery fabrics each season. The Mina and Hobo are our best sellers complete with adjustable braided strap. The Zahara Bag features a custom wood handle.

Artistry

Lady of the Nile Earrings: The Lady of The Nile Earrings are part of our Mediterranean Collection and were designed by Mushmina’s creative director Katie in collaboration with a master ‘malum’ in Morocco. These are available in brass and silver and feature a combination of ancient metalsmithing techniques, Berber artistry, and influence from the North African nomad tribe, the Tuaregs.

Textiles
