About the designer
<p>Ariadna Cherkasova, the founder of La Moscovite brand, creates designer collections of Russian folk culture-themed silk shawls. Educated as historian and ethnographer, she has participated in numerous field trips, becoming intimately familiar with the villagers’ life-style.</p>
<p>Veritable treasures can be found in old wooden houses: grandmothers’ olden chests and wonderfully painted spinning-wheels. Galloping horses and deer – slanting rain of patterns – it all intertwines in a fancy, ethereal image where singing rivers and fields of our ancient homeland come to life.</p>
<p>Authentic folk ornaments, ancient church murals, and elegant miniature paintings from manuscripts became an inexhaustible mine of inspiration for La Moscovite.</p>
<p>The brand creators are committed to preserve the unique beauty of folk ornamental arts and share it, shown in bright colours on natural silk, with the whole world.</p>
