Fatima's Exquisite Rugs, Made in Portugal
It gives me great pleasure to share these new images of Fatima's rugs, made in Northern Portugal. If her work was framable, they would certainly belong in a frame:)
A New Wool Collection, Made in Kashmir
This week, I am delighted to show you the last of the four new collections from Kashmir and this one is all about wool. It’s a collection of scarves and stoles, designed by US-based consultant and designer, Stacy Spivak. The collection was facilitated by Aid to Artisans/ Creative Learning to help create market opportunities for artists in Kashmir, India while working with Rangsutra and the Bandipora Weavers Producer Company. Stacy worked with the artists to update their traditional striped and color-blocked patterns with a chic, earthy palette. We are featuring a line of accessories (scarves and stoles) but these fabrics can also be ordered by the yard and made into custom designs such as lumbar pillows, easy bed throws, and more.
