This is a description of an art show by and Argentine artist:
Para su muestra Fuga, joya, la artista instaló dos vitrinas horizontales y un estante forrados con tela azul de grafa Ombú, donde dispuso un conjunto de collares de diseños elaborados y complejos, con formas que evocaban exóticos modelos de joyería africana.
It seems to be some sort of khaki.
Thanks

Unlikely, true. We all become mines of useless information on this site.

Maximo Wilhelm Muñoz
: No need to place the term ´brand´ neither the description in paranthesis... Just by capitalizing both words would do fine. Best, Maximo.
