BEHIND THE DETAILS

My son and I love to snorkel. We are always on the lookout for colorful fish & interesting sea life. This piece was inspired by the parrotfish or Molmol. Underwater, the parrotfish shows extremely vibrant and beautiful colors. But once its taken out of the water, it loses its vibrance.

Eating parrotfish has been discouraged. Since they feed on the algae on the corals, they prevent the algae from smothering the reefs and so they play an important role in keeping the delicate balance of the coral ecosystem. So instead of eating them, why not wear a piece that’s inspired by them?
