Finding the right partner is hard graft. Just as in personal life you have to pick from a very small pool of potentials. We have kissed our fair share of frogs to arrive at our current relationships.
Hands down. We love Italians. We love working with family businesses that made work their life. It’s a personal affair, a real life passion that gets knitted and sewn into each product. They give our products that aura, that human touch that is so hard to explain.
Sure, it can be a bit chaotic, and yes, also a bit messy and sometimes a little too dramatic but working with our partners is always immensely caring and full of love.
The people we work with made their workshops their own, enriching the surroundings with such an endearing heart and soul. The ageing chairs improved and enhanced over years just to make them that bit more comfortable.
That little plush rabbit that hangs on the sewing machine and swings with every stitch. The multi patterned old table cloths that are used to protect the lovingly made products. Together with your support, we can continue to hold on to the good.
