The Inspiration Behind Mosaique Bleue – Sky

Warmest greetings from Anisha, owner and designer here at Saffron Marigold. Join me behind the scenes to take a closer look at our cherished Moroccan-inspired print, Mosaique Bleue.

I invite you to dive deeper into the creation of this print with this two-minute “Making Of” video…

The Main Print

With the intent to deliver something you have been requesting for years, I created Mosaique Bleue – Sky. We set our cyan blue star burst motif on a white ground to brighten the colorway for an exuberant, cheerful palette reminiscent of the expansive summer skies and glimmering blue seas that embrace Morocco.

The Border Element

The border element represents columns decorated in mesmerizing Zellige, a predominant feature of Moroccan architecture.

The Complementary Print

Our complementary print features a Zellige star pattern of white, orange, and blue. The first desert dwellers relied on stars for navigation, making these motifs a mainstay in Islamic art.

The Block Printing Process

Just like all our collections, Mosaique Bleue – Sky is produced by hand every step of the way, from hand drawings to hand etching wood blocks to hand printing and then to hand delivery—well, via your local carrier. 🙂

While Mosaique Bleue – Sky can be printed any time of year, it is a lavish 5-color print requiring various shades of dye to be mixed and printed with a great degree of precision due to the nature of the patterns.

Our Mosaique Bleue collection is inspired by the mesmerizing handcrafted ‘Zellige’ tilework found in stunning courtyards, secret winding alleyways, and exquisite architectural facades across Morocco.

This collection is a customer favorite and our first run is very limited! Mark your calendars and make sure you don’t miss out on this radiant, summer-loving print. This print launches July 29!
