Of course everyone talks about the new baju raya, but the house gets a refresh too. Tables are dressed, cushions appear, things get rearranged, and somehow everything feels a little brighter.

 

The print actually began many years ago when we created a series for Jo Malone. At the heart of it sits the Bunga Raya, Malaysia’s national flower. Instead of drawing it in the obvious way, we completely took it apart and rebuilt it again until the petals started forming these beautiful diamond shapes. The result feels floral, but also structured and slightly playful, which is where the name comes from.

 

The lilac colour keeps it light and fresh. It’s soft enough to live with every day, but special enough for festive tables and open houses.

 

The fabric is 100 percent canvas, finished with a light coating so it has a bit of structure and is water resistant. In other words, it can survive a busy Raya table.
