Tapestry

Fashion parent company

A tapestry is a heavy textile with woven designs, traditionally hung on walls as decoration or insulation.

The images are created during weaving rather than embroidered afterward.

Figuratively, tapestry describes anything composed of diverse, interwoven elements: a tapestry of cultures, the rich tapestry of life.

The metaphor emphasizes complexity and interconnection.
