The Inspiration
"I was drawn to folklore. In particular Baba Yaga’s forbidden
forest", says Bell. "I love the beauty and the horrors that lay within the forbidden woods of the Brothers' Grimm tales. How tempting treasures can have a dangerous twist. We wanted to capture the light and the dark of the forest floor. We wanted the designs to be tempting to you but with a
feeling of danger and excitement."
