It’s no secret that we’re big fans of former That Mama Louise Hill‘s gorgeous art (just check out the interview we did with her here!), and now her latest collection has us swooning! Little Chinese Windows is a limited edition collection of six prints, featuring special archival Giclee inks (for vibrant clarity) printed on gallery-standard German Hahnemuhle etching paper – a brand well known for their high-end papers. With only 50 prints per design available, they make great collectible wall art for your home, or as a leaving gift for friends. The prints are signed, blind embossed with Louise’s Limited Edition stamp and numbered. Each print comes with its own gold foil Certificate of Authenticity sticker.
“I wanted to create a small but versatile series of images to capture little snapshots of our lives in Asia. The prints include a mixture of images of Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai and various subject matter that depict a generic vintage ‘Chinatown’ feel.”
– Louise
The Little Chinese Windows series is available in 17″ x 17″ (43cm x 43cm) and can be purchased ready-framed or unframed for overseas delivery.

Planning a trip to Japan this winter, mama? Scheduled to open in November, you may want to check out Aman Kyoto – situated in a secret garden hidden at the foot of the symbolic Mountain of Hidari Daimonji in north Kyoto. The tranquil retreat will be just a stone’s throw from Kyoto’s 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, promising an exciting trip of discovery, whether with the kids or without!
In keeping with Aman’s environmental ethos, the resort has also been created using locally-sourced materials. The resort will house 24 suites and two villas in a modern interpretation of traditional ryokans. Other highlights include a signature restaurant, the Aman Spa with its traditional onsen using water from a local hot spring, and a range of treatments that tap into Japan’s natural apothecary.
