Flashback: Tas-Ka

Now there are over 500 posts on this blog, I thought I would re-visit some old posts and see what those people are up to these days.  I originally did a short post about Tas-ka back in 2008 here, I was interested to see what they are up to now.  Well, they now have have a brick and mortar shop in Den Haag, Netherlands and are still stocking well chosen products like the wonderful Marimekko teapot below.  They design their own fabric which you can buy online too.  I love all their designs but my favourite is the last image.

Ladak

Ladak is a company based in Amsterdam.  Their blankets are made from a base fabric of processed sweaters, jeans and blankets which is then embellished with colorful ribbons, laces and other rich fabrics.  They are perfect for using as a throw, for a picnic in the woods or taking to the beach or snuggling up in while you watch your favorite film.  Each blanket is given a name too to add to its individuality.  

Bag and Belly

I first came across Bag and Belly last year via her flickr site.  Bag and Belly is the business of Nina Janssen from the Netherlands, who also works as a freelance costume designer and you can see from these wonderful bags that she has a wonderful eye for detail and creative needlework.
