QNet Presents The Umayal Collection - Presentation 2011

The beauty of Nature is evident everywhere…

A tree branch laden with bright berries

Colorful corals from the deep blue ocean

The brightness of a blade of grass

The soft velvety touch of a rose petal

The filigreed silhouette of the sea fan coral

“The greatest tribute we can pay Nature is to attempt to emulate Her ingenuity. The Umayal Collection is our own ode to Nature.”

-Datin Umayal
