World Textiles & Wearables
The loom is humanity's oldest storytelling device. Andean weavers encoded cosmologies into cloth. Navajo weavers mapped the sky in wool. Moroccan Berber women knotted their lineage into rugs that would outlast empires. Our textile collection gathers the finest of these woven histories — functional objects elevated to the level of art.

The Drive Itself Is a Gift
Verdi, Nevada sits along the Truckee River where the Sierra Nevada crests into the high desert. The town was named in 1868 — Italian, for the composer Giuseppe Verdi, and by happy coincidence the word also means green, fitting the canyon that surrounds it. Once a railroad and timber stop on the Central Pacific line, today it is a quiet doorway into the mountains.
The road in is part of the visit. From Reno, twelve miles west on I-80; from Lake Tahoe, an hour over Donner Pass; from the Bay Area, the drive climbs through pine forest and granite before opening to the Truckee canyon. The mountains witness you arriving — bring time for them.
