Each piece tells a story, they create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that soothing and enticing; it pulls you in and wraps you in a calming comfort that turns your home into a sanctuary.

Possibly the most unique pieces of the hand felted collection are the Eco-print pillows and throws. The Eco-printing patterns are made through a method of bundling leaves and other plants in fabric, and steaming the bundle to print the flora's natural pigments and patterns onto the fabric. This method means that every pillow or throw has a completely unique design and color pallet that can never be replicated or copied, making each piece the very definition of the word 'unique'. It is an all natural dying technique that has been used all around the globe for hundreds of years to dye or tint fabric.
