The relationship between elephants and people is, and has been, an extraordinary one. Elephants have an important place in the history, religion and culture of many countries, especially in Asia. This relationship has worked its magic into our homes and lives through fashion and it is timeless.

From block printed Harem trousers to wall hangings and bedcovers elephants are a cool style in the streets and in our homes.
