Where the Lotus Blooms: From Vietnam to Clarendon Cross
Over Easter break, Sam and her family, journeyed to Vietnam—a trip bursting with colour, culture, and creative inspiration. Wandering through bustling markets and villages, she discovered local artisans whose brushwork brought lotus flowers to life on woven rattan baskets. No trip for Sam is ever complete without a treasure hunt for uniquely crafted goods.
Now back at the shop, these Vietnamese baskets make up our window display. The hand-painted rattan bags are strewn up like floating blooms. To complete the scene, our resident window artist, Jess West, has transformed the shopfront glass with her own interpretation of the lotus, painting vibrant pink and white blossoms echoing the designs on the bags.
