Hey guys, firstly BAD NEWS: The Lily and the Bird collection is being delayed for a September release. This is due to multiple production issues that were out of our control, in order to not have to compromise on the new collection we have had to delay. It will be worth the wait!
GOOD NEWS: we finally managed to get the Cloche bags made! I have written a little blog post about the long journey that went into making it:
http://t-e-f.co.uk/blogs/news/113342214 ... cloche-bag . Basically this was one of the first products we developed but actually getting it made in a factory was a nightmare! I feel like it worked out pretty good in the end though



Also to anyone who has seen me walking around with an Aviator print Cloche bag THAT WAS A REALLY POORLY MADE SAMPLE! These are a lot better.
We also have this neat woven badge!

The title for the Lily and the Bird was originally Solvitur Ambulando, and it was all going to be about walking. In the end we changed direction but we still really wanted to do something about walking, and so the woven badge. Fun fact all the plants on the badge are herbs that are used to brew absinthe. The illustration is by Tom Saffill who is a young illustrator I met through tagging! I'm going to sew mine to my green swebay trousers. And now, Kierkegaard:
Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.
