The Art of Gifting Naturally

$23.00
From soothing skincare and fragrance to jam-making and natural dyeing, this book shows ways to reconnect with nature and celebrate its importance in gift-giving, in over 25 easy and inspiring projects. Consideration is also paid to the ways to wrap gifts, such as doing away with plastic in favour of reusable materials. With a focus on sustainability, slow living, seasonal sensitivity and mindful crafting, this is a book with which to counter our throwaway culture while still showing our appreciation to friends and family.

    Quality Local Luxury - Strawberries & Cream

    Quality Local Luxury

    Strawberries & Cream is a luxury baby and childrenswear brand, to be remembered and different.

    Lovingly designed, around a kitchen table in a garden shed on Hampstead Heath, and carefully made in the UK by traditional craftsmen and seamstresses.

    We believe in unique and timeless high quality garments for babies and children, made in Scotland and England. Our fabrics and trimmings are made by traditional, specialised weavers.

    We believe the process is a part of the luxury, and our garments are developed as they were in the past.

    As they always should be.

    Hand-made embroidery, made in London - Strawberries & Cream

    Hand-made Embroidery, Made in London

    We pleat by hand, and develop our embroideries here, in London. Smocking was invented in England in the Middle Ages, and was often worn by labourers. This fine, hand-embroidery technique is back once again in the luxury market, and in recent years has mostly been developed overseas, due to the high costs.

    We aim to recover this tradition, to hand craft this exquisite embroidery here, where this tradition began.

    We believe that the process and the experience of designing and developing is part of the experience of luxury.
