Pure
Pure; a collection inspired by strong and intense emotions.
Pure is the dew drops that you see on spider webs. It’s the fine grains of sand that are aligned Feng Shui style. It’s the seeds that turn into seedlings. It’s the simplicity and fluidity of daily life.
Pure is a hymn to life and human resilience to life.
To Caroline Arbour, the Pure collection represents a rebirth, a way to express the simplicity in our existence, to redefine our needs without going backwards, but rather to see life under a different light, for its purity.
