- We’ve been waiting for these sweet handkerchief lights to be available, and the moment is (almost) here. Says Hayley of Little Mill Abergavenny: “In the spirit of all things ‘lo-fi,’ there will be no fancy website, no pop-up launch with snacks and sponsored booze, 100 percent no pictures of me in a big ol’ dress wistfully gazing out the window while sewing…All are one off antique linen pieces collected my myself over the last 15 years. They are hand finished in front of my fire (because it’s so cold in Wales currently).” Keep a close eye here.
- This weekend’s best under-the-radar event? “Rearranging Things, a Tag Sale,” hosted by none other than designer Colin King: “open to the public and does not require RSVP, tell your friends.”
