The “Lega Magnolia” ornament is inspired by the botanical motifs found on the 17th-century kulaja of Shalva, Eristavi of Ksani.
A kulaja was an outer garment made from precious cloth, worn by noblemen over the akhalukhi. The ornament on such clothing was not only decorative — it also reflected the taste, status, and dress culture of its time.
In this design, the botanical motif from the historic kulaja becomes cleaner and lighter, as if a small fragment of an old garment continues its life on a new surface.
