NEW Folklore Fabric Tote Bag
Folklore Fabric is unique to my shop and was an exciting collaboration between myself, as the designer, Richard MR Smith, a master weaver and talented folk at Weisters Mill in Darwen, Lancashire. Since I have only a few Folklore Fabric cushions remaining, I evolved my Folklore Fabric into a useful reusable roomy cotton Tote Bag, ideal for all your shopping purchases, or to keep your daily jetsam and flotsam in when you are out and about.

Is your heating on? Mine is, but I am also piling on the layers and using a hot water bottle to keep warm in Baltic weather! I’m notoriously nesh which goes right against my celtic roots, but might explain one of the reasons for my passion for authentic British textiles. If any excuse were needed to wrap up warm in a sumptuous Harris Tweed Quilt with the chilly mornings & cold nights, now is the time you can truly indulge in some delicious cosy cosseting at home.
I have three beautiful & bright Harris Tweed Quilts currently in stock and these are now being offered at the best reduced price of £275. So treat yourself or a loved one while stocks allow.
Enjoy your week, keep warm & onward x
