STAY WARM
WINTER 2020
This is going to be a winter like no other isn’t it. A winter where we will find ourselves collectively hibernating, so you might as well see-out the winter under a blanket, enveloped in warmth whilst you make your way through that list of recommended novels (Netflix dramas). We have gathered up some of the most lovely blankets and cushions for you to squash yourselves into until spring.
The blankets are made in County Mayo at Foxford Woollen Mill. These guys know a thing or two about staying warm in winter being positioned on the storm-battered west coast of Ireland as they are. The Mill has been on the same site since it was established by the Irish Sisters of Charity in 1892.
The simplest interiors ‘canvas’ can be easily shot through with colour. Adding cushions is one of the oldest tricks in the book, but goodness it’s effective. Our new cushions from Eva Sonaike (a new maker to the Simple Shape collection) will sort you out for cushion-colour. Eva’s drive is to spread her passion for colour across the interiors spectrum. She’s winning.
On sofas, at the end of the bed, snuggled in the back of the car, folded around shoulders...a good blanket makes a great gift (to yourself or others!). This mohair blanket, woven in Ireland, with a cut fringe edge detail, is wonderfully warm and effortlessly stylish. Available in three colours.
Material: 75% Mohair, 25% Wool
Colour: Smokey Blue
Size: 140 cm x 170 cm
Notes: dry clean only
This is one of those blankets that will be with you FOREVER. It is impossible to imagine a room that it wouldn’t work well in. You could take this to university with you and still be tucking it over your knees in your nineties. It’s quite simply a great blanket.
Material: 100% Lambswool
Colour: Grey
Size: 140 cm x 170 cm

Colour: Grey with pink detail
Size: 50 cm x 50 cm
Notes: the duck-feather cushion pad is included
Eva Sonaike’s moto is that ‘life is better with colour’ - her blue circle-shape Ijoba cushion proves her rule. Predominantly blue, with yellow and indigo accent colours and printed onto cotton rich fabric with a soft velvety backing and a concealed zip, this cushion commands attention! Also available in Green.
Colour: blue
Size: 50 cm x 50 cm
Notes: the duck-feather cushion pad is included
This is not a ‘wallflower’ cushion! The Tic-Tac cushion is the centre of attention. Strong, bold, graphic and unashamedly eye-catching it is also super soft (being made of 100% lambswool does that!) and with its squashy duck-down cushion pad this is a cushion to cuddle up to. Available in four colours.
Colour: Black & White (with blue zip)
Size: 40cm x 40cm. Duck down cushion pad included.
Notes: these are made by hand so occasionally there are slight variations from one cushion to another. Of course, this is the whole point of buying handmade things - they’re not uniform!
This is just the prettiest pink blanket for seeing-out the winter under…hibernate beneath this, enveloped in warmth, and you’ll surely emerge into spring ready for anything (guarantees available on request!).

The herringbone pattern takes its name from the skeleton of a herring and its history can be traced to the building of Roman roads (I think). So, it's a classic. Woven from 100% lambswool these cushions are soft and squashy. So, settle back and relax.
Colour: Tangerine Orange
Size: 60cm x 60cm
