Jamini X Bergamotte

Take a ride with us to Assam this fall. Usha has always been a green lover and everyone around her knows her obsession for plants and flowers. This love comes from the tropical forest of North East India, where she spent her childhood. Green spirit, Jamini style, is more than a trend : its a way of life ! Our fabulous new collaboration with Bergamotte, the trendiest plant atelier in Paris, brings you a touch of exotic chic.

Assam is home to world famous tea plantations lined with a luxuriant jungle. This region is marked by its incredible biodiversity. Lying between the valleys of the Himalayas in the North and Mikir Hills in the South, it is full of natural treasures like the famous Karizanga national park, home and refuge of endangered species. Panthers, one horned rhinos and majestic Indian elephants are few of the species that make this region so special. The park is also the famous for a wide variety of plants fed by the Brahmaputra River such as water hyacinth, water lilies and orchids. This UNESCO World Heritage site is under constant threat from poaching and deforestation. In memory of her grandfather, Chief Conservator of Assam's forest, Usha and her family have led a movement to protect the endangered species. They founded the El Rhino company and the Prabhakar Barua Rhino Conservation Trust, both of which help to preserve and protect the one horned rhinoceros and the elephant. Through these initiatives, they also provide employment to villagers in order to produce 100% natural paper made from rhino and elephant waste.
