Looks like the Saira x Ettinger pheasant flask is getting popular. It’s just been featured in the Autumn 2012 issue of Spectator Life. Available to buy through Ettinger now
My Saira Hunjan x Ettinger collection fox hip flask was featured in How To Spend It! Really great to be featured in the Financial Times. The product is out to buy now online through Ettinger
A few weeks back, I was interviewed by SOMA magazine to talk about tattooing and my capsule collection with Ettinger. The shoot with photographer Olivia Beasley was great and I’m looking forward to see the piece in print in the next few days.
Gaultier does it again, this time even closer to my heart with his Menswear Spring 2013 collection.
Here’s a close-up of the Fox design for the flask and the Pheasant design for the clutch bag from the Saira Hunjan x Ettinger range along with my signature for the collaboration. I hope you like.
Following on from my last post, here’s the “Saira Hunjan for Ettinger” collection. There will be ten products in total including a flask, a visiting card case, a coat wallet, two different billfold wallets, a small and a large zip around purse, a clutch, a small zipped purse and a key fob. The collection is a ‘limited edition’ and will be available in selective retailers worldwide and online at Ettinger from Autumn 2012. I can’t wait!
So excited to announce the “Saira Hunjan for Ettinger” Capsule Collection which we premiered at Walpole Day at Somerset House this week. I’ve been working on this project with the lovely team at Ettinger for a while now and I’m so proud to be able to put my designs to an array of products and finally announce it. I’ll be posting up more photos of the day and products as soon as I can. Amazing to have my designs on a product for the first time rather than people!
My India trip, May 2012: Bhunga huts lived in by the Harijans. Built by grass, mud and stones. Then beautifully painted with geometric designs on the exterior Walls and decorated with mud and mirrors on the inside.
My early memories of beautiful tattoos came from the nomadic Rabari women. These gypsies have continued to inspire me. To meet them & photograph them was a dream come true.
India calling
For true inspiration I had to retreat to India again. A trip that has been put off for far too long, it feels amazing to be back and has been everything I have been searching for. I have spent a week travelling in Bhuj, Gujarat, visiting different villages and learning about true craftsmanship. Amazing hand woven and hand painted textiles. Decorated mud huts adorned with mirrors. But also having the opportunity to meet and photograph the various gypsy tribes. There really is no place like home. Photographs on the way soon!
