In our line of work we meet some pretty darn clever makers, and we're big fans of the ones who take care of their work, conscious of environmental impact whilst designing thoughtful, functional and timeless products.
We recently chatted with Annie Loveridge, about her store The Ivy House, and how it represents her meaning of “home” (whist admitting she too is a homebody at heart)
Annie and her delightful team firmly believe that natural materials, sourced kindly, produce healthy homes, and live by their number one belief “choose what you love".
I have a reckless love of linen and our house is full of Foxtrot goodies. My respect for these two sisters is enormous – running a fantastic business together, growing a great brand and product while working remotely.
Linen is equal parts functional and beautiful, it has breathable qualities, a great depth of colour when dyed, and the more it’s used (and washed) the softer it gets. Keep it on your bed all year round, because linen is warm in winter and cool in summer too.
We’re putting the spotlight on suppliers! I’m so excited to showcase the talent, energy, and creativity that sits behind a few of our favourites, starting with Emma Hayes Textiles.
Emma Hayes Textiles is a New Zealand based design company with a vision to “create beautiful textiles for beautiful spaces”. Oh how we relate. Wallcoverings, fabrics and accessories are a major weapon in our style armoury.
