The iconic "Meena" pattern designed by Jim Thompson Fabrics, a luxury textile brand known for blending traditional Asian aesthetics with contemporary design. Specifically, this colorway is known as Morning Light. The design is inspired by traditional Thai and East Asian art motifs, featuring highly detailed Barramundi or carp-like fish swimming gracefully through dense, swirling sea waves. It features a muted duck egg or sage green background with finely lined white waves and shimmering gold/bronze metallic accents on the bodies of the fish.
