Paleo Empire 50550

Paleo, a glimpse of ‘native America’. The Paleo Indians, the oldest native inhabitants of North America, had a colourful lifestyle and fascinating culture. The drawings and colour palette in this collection take their inspiration from the way clothes, jewellery and utensils used by this nomadic tribe were decorated. Paleo means ‘the ancient’, yet these unusual motifs are more up to date than ever.

Empire
The same ‘quillwork’ as Civilia, however, this time with a clear pattern. Made exactly in the same way as the Paleo Indians did it, with stylised figures carved in wood, stone or bone. Excavations have taught us that they were mad about coloured materials, such as coral, turquoise and jade, shades that you will also find in this collection.
