Designed by Claudia Q

Among the many traditions my paternal grandmother cherished, her love for Andalusian flowers stood out. One of her favourites was the Narciso, not only for its abundant pink blooms that grew everywhere in our home but also because it was the name of her father, who had come from Spain. This flower symbolizes a central figure in her life, her father, who raised her after her mother’s untimely death during childbirth. This pattern is a tribute to her enduring legacy. - Claudia
