Best Instagram posts from 2019!
Shamji from Vankar Vishram Valji weavers with Graham on our stand at the International Folk Art Market, Santa Fe,back in July. Shamji weaves all of our Desi Wool cloth for our cushions and throws. He is a true master weaver and an expert in natural dyeing.
Here’s a little round-up of our best Instagram photos of 2019. We love Instagram, it’s a great way to share and document our design process, product development, news and inspiration. It’s always fun seeing what our followers have enjoyed the most over the course of a year.
I prefer to see what posts have resulted in the most visits to our Instagram Profile (rather than just Likes), so here we share those images with a little bit of background to each one!
This image taken by Simon Bevan for a shoot for You Magazine styled by Jen Haslam gets loads of attention. Our Chindi cushion looks great on this modern daybed.
Our Barley Throw photographed in Graham’s eclectic bedroom in East London. It’s always a good idea to show how our products work in real interiors.
Love the Asafo flag on the wall too!

I started a regular Friday afternoon series of posts tagged #favouritefridayfinds, (although I have neglected this recently!). This was an opportunity to share some of the amazing and inspirational homes we discover on Instagram. Casa Montana (above) is a prefabricated home designed by Baragano Architects, which is energy efficient, built from sustainable materials and can be constructed in just 4 months, and assembled on site in 5 hours! It costs $148,500. Should the owner wish to relocate, it can be easily dismantled, transported and reassembled in a new location. We love radical new building concepts like this, shaking up the current backward, wasteful and expensive building industry.
A minimalist, low maintenance, low impact holiday bolt-hole in a remote location in Mexico designed by Perez Palacios architects. I discovered this on Est Living.
Hotel Punta Caliza on Isla Holbox. So calm and could really imagine some Stitch by Stitch pieces in these rooms!
We adore this image by lifestyle blogger Rebecca Goddard of our Chindi quilt in her beautiful pared back Berlin bedroom. Rebecca wrote a great interview piece about us and took some fabulous photos of our quilt and Desi Natural Stripe cushion in her lovely home. Read the full article here.

Finally, this product image of our Block + Stitch cushion got lots of likes and engagement. I’m not always sure about posting cut-out product images on Instagram, preferring to expand imagery around our brand message, but this one seemed to strike a chord with our followers!
Happy New Decade, everyone! Do join us over on Instagram!
