Butterflies

This morning , as we have one of the most important choice of selection of fabrics in Provence , a customer from Saint Tropez came to look for something special to make curtains.

She had just lost her son , and she had heard that butterfly was the symbol of resurrection so she was looking for a fabric with butterflies design.

Indeedin a lot of cultures butterfly is symbolic in roman Antiquity , soul leaving the body took the form of butterfly , and for the Aztecs he is symbol of the soul and vital breathing .

Have you ever thought that fabric could be therapeutic ?

I do because

creation helps everyday

art and beauty too

I presented her these selection

My favourite one .

For further information or order fabric contact me 

the choice of my client is the one above

life is as colourful as the wings of butterfly

life is so vibrant as the wings of butterfly

Life is as fragile as the wings of butterfly

I like this one too , is in one of my show room's bedroom , he is on the wall

What beautiful fabrics. And yes I completely agree with you that "fabrics are therapeutic". Thanks for the wonderful images and inspiration.

I love antique printed fabrics - there's a lovely article on fabric printing in this month's World of Interiors. The butterflies are lovely!

Oh, what a sad and meaningful request. Which one did she pick?
