PETIT GROCERY
Bobo Choses spring/summer collection is out !!!
I just came back from London where I had the pleasure to visit Couverture and the Garbstore, a beautiful shop based in Notting Hill. They showcased the first pieces of BBC SS 13 collection (among other little treasures), and I got to say that it was love at first sight… Bright and clean colors, fresh fruity patterns… this makes me crave sunny days even more !

YUE
I’m smitten with those awesome raw leather accessories by Yue. Designed by Sarah Chow, those clever and simple yet elegant pieces have been inspired by Chow’s family leather goods. They’re produced in very limited quantity, so if you dream of owning one of those little wonders, go straight to her shop !

HAPPY CAMPING
French design duo Colonel chose to explore the theme of vintage holidays for their last furniture collection. Inspired by the patterns, colors and materials of the camping and beach supplies, they created a serie of cosy and fresh products re-reading this singular universe with modernity and nostalgia. Pretty smart uh ?

BLOCK SHOP SCARVES
I just found this beautiful and inspiring project on the web, and immediately fell in love with it, not only because of the rich colors and gorgeous patterns adorning their scarves, but also for their concept.
Sisters Lily and Hopie Stockman founded their own textile company in India a few years ago after they started to be passionnate about block printing and decided to support this ancient textile tradition. They associated with one of the best printers family of Bagru, the Chhipas, who are - for about five generations - strongly devoted to environmentally sustainable and socially responsible printing methods. Together, they created a unique collection of textiles printed with non-toxic vegetable dyes on the finest Indian silk-cotton blend. Simply beautiful.
