Oribe celebrates self expression and affirmation this holiday season through our beautiful collaboration with illustrator, textile designer and artist, Louis Barthelemy. Guided by his natural curiosity and intuition, Louis artwork exemplifies his deep appreciation for the rich culture, beautiful lands and captivating craftspeople of Egypt that have shaped his eye as an artist and forever changed him as an individual. In Eternal Rituals via a sprawling three-part tapestry, Louis showcases the central role that haircare has played in our daily life since antiquity. The whimsical narrative visualizes thousands of years of haircare ritual, starting with a sublime deity, whose hair flows upwards like the life-giving Nile river. Under the watchful eye of the god Horus, the flowing locks are tended to and braided by mythical Egyptian gods and goddesses, surrounded by lush flora and fauna, all with playful nods to Oribe throughout.
