PRODUCT CARE
Each product is made by hand, using ethically sourced, pre-consumer textiles that are discarded by the industry. These textiles are unsoiled and unused because they are 'unusable' by the industry due to slight wear-and-tear and weave and pattern defects. We source natural-fibre textiles as much as we can, although due to the sheer volume of discarded fabric that is amassed, we sometimes include material blends as linings and support fabrics to our products.
CUSHIONS & TABLE-LINEN
We recommend spot-cleaning for stains and dry-cleaning if absolutely required. A simple sunning on a terrace or air-drying at home will do to preserve the textile. Do not wash and iron only on low heat.
QUILTS
Quilts should be frequently aired in the sun and spot cleaned. Store in airy muslin or cotton bags or flat on a bed if possible. Quilts must be dry-cleaned every six to eight months.

There are always elements of surprise when employing the technique of improvisational design because colour, composition and message can either unfold gently or unravel in an instant. With this quilt, the colour palette emerged as I sewed each band to the other, as did the overall layout of the blocks, but the message came to me the moment I saw the piece in its entirety: a sky bursting with colour at sunset.
As a textile designer, I primarily use surplus and remnant fabrics to help rethink our ideas of ‘waste,’ and to create a design language that is contemporary, relevant and honest.
