Is the name of a heroine in Greek mythology. She is neither a princess nor a fairy. She is endowed with a spectacular talent for weaving and is well aware of her own faculties. Her self-confidence, often mistaken for pride, enables her to refuse the superiority of the gods and challenge Athena in a duel. Angered by Arachne’s ultimate victory, Athena turns her into a spider. Even then, Athena is unable to destroy Arachne’s talent for weaving.
This collection takes its inspiration from Arachne’s magical designs that nature transforms into jewels with raindrops. And we dedicate it to Arachne and all principled, courageous women who are aware of their power.
(Greek: “Spider”)
