From Russia With Love Collection Sofianka Allover Wrapped from Jan Kath

This wholesome transitional design has been given a modern makeover.

While more current events often color our opinions about regions and cultures, some timeless aspects cross all boundaries. In Jan Kath's From Russia With Love Collection much of the inspiration comes from the ubiquitous patterns often seen in Babushkas, or head shawls, often so synonyms with older Slavic women that Babushka is an endearing term for Grandmother in the region. Jan Kath has sought to combine this motif with the tendencies for design ideas from these regions to influence the Persian production centers in Karabakh, and vice-versa, as they expanded to produce rugs and carpets for the growing European markets in the early 20th Century. This exchange of designs and idea is the central idea behind this collection. While we may differ on any number of subjects, a Grandmother is still a Grandmother. A flower is still a flower. A well made rug is still just that.

The Sofianka Allover expands in the design to depict a large grouping of red roses in a wool and silk blend against a deep green background. JAN KATH has also added angular lines intersecting the design at random intervals in lower cut purple wool and nettle.
