Kushaan

The decadent architecture and storied history of places like Turkey, India and Morocco led Australian-born, UAE-based Kate Keenan to found the textile firm, Kushaan. Run-ins at cultural behemoths like the library in Isfahan left an indelible impression and served as a harbinger to her later foray into the rich and luxurious process of developing fabrics. In each weave – from the sheen of the handmade silk ikats to the unrivalled hand-embroidered suzanis – a technique with its own storied history is eulogised.
