Home collection

This New Year let’s enrich our spirits. Portico New York is here with its latest collection of bed and bath linen called Urban Monk, which takes its inspiration from the mythical Shangri-La. The rich multicoloured textiles collection is replete with geometrical colour block, magical mandalas and embellished strips. The engraved and embossed print effects give a unique ornamental pattern. With India and China being the rising powers in Asia, it is not surprising that orient and ancient culture are an inspiration for this collection.

The collection was showcased at the opening of the Home Stop outlet in District Centre, Saket, recently.
