It is a reminder of the immense resources that are hidden deep below the surface of our planet, and of human ingenuity and perseverance, as miners must brave dangerous and difficult conditions to uncover such valuable resources. Similarly, there is a sense of mystery and awe surrounding this stunning fabric, which is a gorgeous alloy of Siberian Gold and two different shades of Onyx black.
