These scenic tapestries are part of the limited edition Robert McKinley X Aelfie collection, highlighting hand-crafted textiles that draw inspiration from the great outdoors. Featuring images of coastal landscapes, the tapestries are available in six striking motifs that include sunset and sunrise graphics alongside beach-side mountains and more.
Each piece from the Robert McKinley x Aelfie collection was "originally designed by McKinley for the newly-opened boutique property Hotel Joaquin in Laguna Beach" and can be purchased via the Aelfie web shop. The lifestyle retailer is known for its playful and eye-catching decor, ranging from statement pillows to vibrant rugs.
Every tapestry from the collection is made from 100% wool and is handwoven by artisans in India. Each is also made with three weaving techniques and hand knotting along with a traditional floor loom. Additionally, each design is part of a limited edition of 10 pieces.
