Me & K Home is a new range of designer cashmere throws, handwoven in the Valley of Kashmir in the Indian Himalayas.

This new line, while continuing to reflect the contemporary vision and artisanal expertise of the house, marks a turning point in artistic direction, affirming a colourful minimalism which lends itself to interior spaces with a softness, audacity and elegance.

Once a season, Me & K Home invites an artist to express themselves using cashmere fabrics as their blank canvas. Such collaborations celebrate the artistic nature of our production process and the positioning of the brand.

To launch this new range, we have chosen to collaborate with Maximilien Pellet, a young artist whose work on colour and material reflects the contemporary and timeless vision of our brand. His work brings a graphic poetry between abstraction and narration, which resonates with the unique tone of the house. Each piece is hand painted and produced in a limited series.
