Tora “Pistachio” — Silk Jacquard

 

In “Pistachio,” our signature Tora pattern finds new expression through pure woven silk. The playful energy of its hand-drawn tigers meets the soft lustre of the Jacquard, giving the design an entirely new dimension — richer, more tactile, and alive with movement.

 

The intricacy of the silk weave heightens every contour and hue, transforming familiar motifs into something extraordinary. Light dances across the surface, revealing layers of tone and texture that shift from bronze to green to gold.

 

This luxury silk fabric is ideal for statement upholstery, cushions, or decorative accents — wherever a sense of craftsmanship and quiet exuberance is desired. The Pistachio palette pairs beautifully with warm timbers, natural stone, and soft neutral fabrics, creating harmony and contrast in equal measure.

    Texture:

    A smooth, tightly woven silk with a gentle sheen. The Jacquard weave adds a fine raised texture that gives the pattern real depth and clarity. Soft to the touch but strong and durable, it feels both refined and substantial.

A craft on the edge of extinction, the art of silk weaving.

We met with Ron Smart — Ron is a master of his trade and took the time to guide us around his factory and walk us through the process of silk weaving.

This isn’t just production. It’s a living heritage.
A reminder that true luxury is built on patience, skill, and a respect for tradition.

The result? A silk that is stronger, purer, and more beautiful than anything mass-manufactured could ever be — ready to live on as upholstery, drapery, and heirlooms in waiting.

Yevheniia Vynokurova

​Ukrainian artist Yevheniia Vynokurova talks about her inspiration and the meanings behind the tigers that caught the attention of design house Patience and Gough and sparked the collaboration. 

 

Artist Yevheniia Vynokurova says of her designs, “I’ve come a very short way as an artist, but I feel the importance of my mission to create something incredible and beautiful because it makes me happy that people can smile when they look at my illustrations. The tiger is a symbol of energy, and strength, as well as a symbol of good luck and beauty. Inspired by Eastern mythology, I imagined the essence of these animals and by drawing the tigers I started a dialogue with myself, and with many others, for whom my tigers have become a talisman.”

As Yevheniia beautifully puts it, her tigers are more than illustrations – they’re talismans of courage and resilience. Through this collection, our fabric is given a layer of meaning far beyond the material.
