The Story behind... our Disruption Collection!
April 06, 2016
Back in January this year we launched our new Disruption collection at Maison & Objet in Paris.
With a fresh colour palette of blues, pinks and greens, this new series of designs is a continuation of our interest in 'Nature's Camouflage' (see our Eyespot print launched last september for the first design in this series).
Maison & Objet | NY Now!
February 15, 2016
2016 began with a busy January to get us out of our holiday mode and back in the studio at full speed! We took part in our first overseas trade show with BEDG at Maison & Objet in Paris last month and it was a great experience. We met some incredible buyers and press, plus we were lucky to be surrounded by some of the finest companies from the UK who were also exhibiting their wares with BEDG.
Pricing Update for 2016
January 30, 2016
As well as new products, a new year also means new plans and new tweaks. As a result we have had to revisit some of our existing prices due to several significant increases in overheads and suppliers prices in the last six months. Many of our products have remained at the same price for the last couple of years, but it's not possible for us to maintain the quality and integrity of our products without increasing some of our prices slightly.

Black Friday
November 23, 2015 1 Comment
Myself and Hilary Grant recently took a trip together and spent a lot of time discussing Black Friday...this is a refined version of our thoughts and conversation on that trip:
"This year a few of us small business owners have decided to opt out of the Black Friday promotion or have decided to scale back their discount offering..."

Fashion & Lifestyle Mission to Japan
November 10, 2015 2 Comments
Last week we were lucky enough to be selected as one of thirty British companies to travel to Tokyo to take part in the UKTI Fashion & Lifestyle Mission held at the British Embassy. Having never been to Tokyo before, or Japan even, this was an opportunity that we couldn't quite believe was happening.
The Story behind... our new Rucksacks!
October 20, 2015
Earlier in the year we were asked to create some merchandise for the Glasgow based band Belle & Sebastian (you can read more about this exciting commission here) and one of the products we developed was a rucksack. Initially myself and Fi (their lovely merch manager) chatted about doing a special duffel as we're both big duffel bag fans, but I'd been thinking about creating a rucksack for a while and thought this was maybe a fun way to develop the product...

Arteles Residency - Week Four
September 03, 2015
Tampere is the nearest large town to Arteles and also home to Muumilaakso - Moomin Valley, a museum dedicated to the works of Tove Jansson. Although small in size, it didn't disappoint as her drawings are incredible and my personal highlight of the exhibition. No photos are allowed in the museum, so there was only opportunity to snap my souvenirs and happy face outside the entrance...
