The colour palette for our latest Resort Collection was inspired by the powerful hues that represent the 7 Chakras.
‘Chakra’ in Sanskrit means disc or spinning wheel of energy or wheel of light. Within your chakras, there is ‘prana’ or life force energy and is organized in its flow through your physical body-mind. The seven major chakras are the centres in our bodies in which energy flows through. They are positioned throughout the body, from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Each chakra has its own vibrational frequency, depicted through a specific chakra colour.
