few, the colours mirroring life in the scorching climate of Rajasthan. My interpretations of this wonderful heritage are: Riding Coats of sumptuous silk velvet in jewel colours lined with paper silk in vintage hued designs.  These romantic, sensuous-feeling coats can be thrown on to dress up for any occasion. Maharajah Coats, irredescent in tissue silk, delicately hand painted, reflecting

the light in tantalising intensity for a more formal party. Vintage Bengali Quilts:  hand quilted with tiny stitches in shimmering colours, and a multiplicity of designs, to throw over a bed, a sofa, a table, use as curtains, hangings in a yurt or to throw on the ground in a tepee. Single bed size, some reversible.
