For an haute bohemian vibe why not try designing a room around a pair of Fez Vases?

Our new collection of grand scale matching Moroccan urns just arrived...

Imagine lounging in your Marrakesh wearing this light as a feather floor-length long-sleeved Pucci kaftan in a gorgeous pale Persian Green. The deep keyhole neckline is richly embroidered with antiqued gold braiding reminding us of the filigree Moroccan lanterns or an Arabic arch...
