Muses – women who soften people‘s worries,women who are a constant inspiration, especially to those with an artistic instinct.
Erato, one of the 9 Muses in Greek Mythology, was the goddess of erotic poetry and imitation, a mythical creature who had the brilliant ability to make the mortals fall in love and excel in the arts.
Just like lyricism is at the forefront of the erotic poems that she inspires, lyric embroidery takes center stage on traditional Greek costumes symbolizing a fascinating code of meanings and interpretations.
In our ‘Erato’ Collection, unique embroidery from 5 different areas of Greece recreate the distinctive motifs and rich variations to bring this important decorative part of folk tradition to the present day. And just like the wreath of roses is decorating Erato’s head, the embroidery-inspired patterns adorn the ethereal silk scarves in a circular motion.
