Metallic Loose weave ribbon

Today lots of studio news! The new line of Loose weave cotton ribbon woven with gold thread is ready and in stock on our shelfs. During last spring, we launched the natural cotton and metallic ribbon, but the result was so lovely that I was immediately inspired to add more. Possibilities now seems endless... For this fall I designed six new colors ribbon, as Red + Gold, Chartreuse + Gold, Fuchsia + Gold, Peacock + Gold, Sage + Gold and Gravel + Gold (my favorite). New also in the studio, tiny pairs of Crane Scissors, packaged by hand in our studio. As my other line of Ribbon Scissors, I found these embroidery scissors in a notions shop in Rome and loved them so much that I tracked down the manufacturer in Italy in order to bring them to you. They have a lovely shape, with golden handles and the sharp blades are the beak of the crane. Love to keep them on hand on my desk! For more wrapping, we added a Red and Gold line cotton ribbon in the 2/8" width. Imagine how cool it can be for styling an Indian wedding too! To celebrate, we are offering free shipping, wholesale, domestic orders, only, for orders placed between today October 8th through the end of the day Monday, October 13th. The Wholesale Catalogue 2014 has been updated with new products and any feedback or questions are always welcome. Let me know what you think, I'm happy to hear from you!

Calligraphy ribbon with Maybelle Imasa Stukuls

I'm very excited the collaboration with calligrapher Maybelle came to life! We were inspired to collaborate together, as soon as we organized the Calligrafia workshop at our studio last spring. Some first drafts of Maybelle alphabet were ready right after the first class, but it took us a few months to complete the project in details. The black ink alphabet, in upper and lower case, became white relief silkscreen printing, over black cotton ribbon. The long time and effort to have the best printing result, was all worth the wait. Now the Calligraphy ribbon arrived from Italy and it is packaged by hand in our studio on tea dye wood spools. They are so beautiful and I'm thankful to Maybelle for working with me on this idea. Now I started to think, what can come next?

Colors in progress

Our latest production: Custom made loose weave ribbon on wood spools featured at ABC Carpet and Home in NYC. And Loose Weave cotton ribbon in six colors, woven with gold thread, now in production in Italy and available soon in our shop. Stay tuned, we are getting ready for fall with new ideas.

Wood Spools with cotton ribbon in colors

After many requests, we are excited to be able to offer the wood spools cotton ribbons at wholesale, as well as in the shop. They are available in twenty, assorted colors + Silver and Gold Metallic Line. The wood spools are made in USA and I dye them with black tea in my kitchen to have a warm, wood color. When completely dry, they are back to the studio, ready for assembling. They look great all together, they do brigth my studio with colors and they are fun to photograph! Thank you to continue to inspire us to create new products!  

Studio updates

While the giveaway is still on for a few days, we launched our fall Wholesale Catalogue with new products and colors ribbon as Jade green and Peacock blue. They look great when combined with Natural and Red! I had some help with the text catalogue by friend and blogger Justine Hand. I was lucky to get to know her during the Remodelista photo shooting last winter, and hopefully now every product is clearly described in the catalogue, without mistakes. Thank you for your patience with my English! I think Justine is a great writer and she is also working on the shop products description, soon to be updated. Free shipping is now available through November 15th for all wholesale, domestic orders. The studio is very busy assembling new products, shipping orders and almost every day there is a new box of materials arriving at our door. It is hard to keep up with inventory and it is my new challenge! We are honored to be part of the Martha Stewart American Made online shop, and a selection of our designs and products, rigorously made in our Brookline studio, are now available in the shop, along with other great sellers. The last news for today, we would like to announce our annual studio holidays sale, on Saturday, December 7th, featuring work by Jill Bent, Pikku Wares and Susy Pilgrim Waters.
