The Pollux Bath Towel, 1 of 5 pieces in this collection sold since 2014, features long hand-embroidered tassels across the full width of both ends.<\/p>\n
This technique is similar to that of the Ilias and Ilan bed linens, with longer and thicker tassels here.<\/p>\n
Born in the wake of the Lamu bath linen’s success, the Pollux collection asserted a more bohemian style from its creation, finding its audience immediately.<\/p>\n
On the Bath Towel, the hand-embroidered tassel runs 100 cm wide at each end.<\/p>\n
Its making requires several distinct steps: our artisans first count the threads to ensure proper density, before embroidering each tassel directly into the terry fabric.<\/p>\n
Next comes the stitching of the tie that holds the tassel, then adjusting the length so no strand protrudes, and finally combing to give it its final drape.<\/p>\n
This number of steps and manipulations, higher than for a classic pompom trim, explains the longer production time for this finish.<\/p>\n
Pollux was born from a specific commission, for a house in Ibiza, at a time when Val\u00e9rie Barkowski wanted to explore a different style from the rest of the Lamu collection.<\/p>\n
Her designs often emerge this way, from a concrete need or request that triggers a creative impulse. She then imagined long tassels embroidered by hand directly into the terry fabric. <\/p>\n
The technique is similar to that already developed for the Ilias and Ilan bed linens, but Val\u00e9rie Barkowski lengthened and thickened the tassels for bath linen.<\/p>\n
The Pollux collection was launched in 2014 and found its audience from the start, carried by its bohemian style. More than ten years after its creation, it remains a cherished piece of the house. <\/p>\n
