Pillows with a message

I fell in love with these pillows instantly. Maybe it's the vibrant colors or the sewn on statements "THINK GREEN", "SHINE YELLOW" and "HAND MADE" that just spoke to me. I think they are super cool. Hand made by a woman in the US these are made with love in her little studio up in the mountains. The pillows are made of eco friendly wool felt and includes a zipper closure. The pillows measure 50x50 cm. Keep in mind, all pillows come without inserts! All pillows are standard mesurments so you can find inserts at shops like IKEA, Ellos, H&M or Stoff och Stil.

Super cool, eco-friendly & fair traded travel bag


Ok, so I had to have these travel bags...I just had to! They are super cool, super eco-friendly and Fair Traded, what more can one ask for. The bags - made in Bangladesh - are made of re-used cementbags. Super smart idea!

I would recommend you to use it on all those shopping trips when you find yourself needing that extra bag to fit all your newly purchased finds in. For some reason the bag you brought along simply isn't big enough, how strange! :-)

The bags are super durable and can stand the "beating" that your luggage has to put up with when you travel the world. A bag that actually gets better and better the more wear and tear it has to put up with. Sweet! The best part is, it's not expensive! For 375 SEK this bag is yours!

Suzanis in beautiful colors


Two beautiful Suzanis are now added to my wonderful collection of textiles. Suzani is a Persian word meaning "needle", which is used to describe these two wonderful 1976 and 1971 Uzbek embroideries. Any of these two Suzanis would make a wonderful addition to any sofa, armchair or bed. They will add that certain "je ne sais quoi" that sets you apart from everyone else. They just ooze with history and brings character and soul to any room.

History:

Traditionally, mothers would start embroidering large strips of cotton or silk cloth at the birth of a daughter. When that daughter was old enough to learn to embroider, she and her friends would take on completing the work, which was used for bed, wall coverings, and other types of home decoration.

Suzani patterns are drawn on by hand, and like all imperfect handmade treasures, sometimes the stitching covers all the outlines, sometimes not! Each roundel of swirls and flowers is meant to bring the "Garden of Eden" - a lifetime of happiness and prosperity - into the home. Because of the age and usage, the suzanis do show stains, small holes and other signs of usage. I think this adds greatly to its character.

Suzani no 1: Raspberry red light cotton sateen is satin-stitched in off-white, gold, pumpkin, grass green, purple, mint and black heavy hand-dyed cotton thread. Various colored chainstitched outlines and borders. The suzani is unlined.. Measures: 70" x 72" or 178 x 183 cm.

Price 4000 SEK

To order or to get more pictures, please send me an email

Suzani no 2: Pale warm grey heavy silk sateen is satin-stitched in yellow, coral, pink, olive, kelly, sage, purple and tan heavy hand-dyed cotton thread. Border patterns are outlined in a chain-stitch of charcoal grey. Double bands of hand chain-stitched 1/2" trim border the piece, which is unlined. Measures: 71" x 53" or 180 x 134 cm

Price 4000 SEK

Keep in mind that this is textile art at it's finest. When you buy a vintage hand embroidered Suzani, you buy a piece of history. The holes, spot or stains are the imprint of history. You either like it or you don't. Either way it is part of its charm and what makes it unique and valuable. One thing is for sure - when draped over a bed or a sofa - it will make the furniture pop in the room!
