Description / Inspiration

Her colours are designed to invigorate. Crocheting is back in fashion on clothing for our youth, but is also associated with Grannies. The patchwork evokes the patchwork of life’s memories – fun times and doing activities with others. The red/ hot pink lippy, glasses and wrinkles represent lively seniors immersed in life and all it has to offer.
