Episode 2: A Journey Through the History of Florals

Heritage meets innovation — the cultural and artistic legacy of floral textiles.

“Woven stories — from ancient motifs to modern craftsmanship.”

Floral motifs are woven deeply into textile history — a universal language of beauty, growth, and storytelling. Long before florals became a fashion statement, they were emblems of identity and artistry.

In China, blooming peonies and plum blossoms symbolised wealth and endurance. In Japan, chrysanthemums and cherry blossoms represented imperial grace and the fleeting nature of time.

“The chrysanthemum — once imperial, now immortalised in modern cotton.”

Indian artisans perfected floral block prints on cotton centuries ago, creating chintz that would later influence European design. And in Victorian England, flowers carried hidden meanings — roses for love, violets for faith, and lilies for purity — embroidered onto gowns and home linens alike.

“Tradition reimagined — East meets West in metallic weave and colour.”

Today’s florals are both homage and evolution. At Fabric Lab, we draw inspiration from these traditions while pushing them forward — transforming historic motifs into modern textiles that shimmer with lurex threads, ripple with jacquard depth, or flow freely across fine cotton lawns.
Each piece connects past craftsmanship with present creativity, letting every petal tell its story anew.
