All lights use LED neon, and are quick and easy to hang and connect. Kip & Co lights range from $449 t0 $1,195. They’re not cheap but if you’re looking to make a big statement, look no further!

Melbourne’s newest homewares haven, The Nomad Society

As a self-confessed “do it kind of girl,” Carolyn Mee has been the mastermind behind many ventures. From being a chef and opening a cafe to studying design and creating beautiful interiors, her latest dream gig is owning homewares store, The Nomad Society.

1508_The Nomad Society_low res_007

“Having a homewares store where I’m surrounded by things I absolutely love rocks my world,” says Carolyn. “We stock handmade pieces with stories, well-known Australian companies and other goodies I just couldn’t not have!”

1508_The Nomad Society_low res_059

Situated on Greville Street in Prahran, Melbourne, The Nomad Society combines new and modern homewares created by Australian designers, with carefully curated pieces from overseas. “We’ve got some awesome Australian suppliers like Kip & Co and Kate & Kate, small designers like Phendei from Melbourne/Cambodia and Sateen from Sydney/Portugal and then I have my Turkish rugs…bought over multiple mint teas, super strong Turkish coffee and a yarn… just out of Istanbul.”

1508_The Nomad Society_low res_004

Sourcing from all over the world, Carolyn uses everything from social media to local contacts. “When it comes to sourcing, it’s all about research, research, research! Going to every possible design market, meeting people over the years, looking at my own purchases and making contact with local small business. And time spent on Instagram in Byron and the Greek Islands helped!”

1508_The Nomad Society_low res_036

With a style that is “airy, modern and ethnic,” The Nomad Society has now gone online, with many more plans for the future. “What’s next? I see styling, I see pop-ups, manufacturing something small myself, travel and just finding new creatives to showcase.”

Take 5 with Kip & Co’s Alex van der Sluys

Each week we shine the spotlight on some of Australia’s best designers, artists and stylists and have them share with us what’s making them tick; anything from the best advice they’ve ever received to their favourite holiday destination. Today we chat to Alex van der Sluys, co-founder of bedding brand Kip & Co.

Kate Heppell and Hayley Pannekoecke
Alex van der Sluys (left) with co-founders Kate Heppell and Hayley Pannekoecke

1. What is your favourite holiday destination?

New Orleans is quite something else. I am a sucker for any city where it is socially acceptable to walk around with a giant plastic cup of gin and tonic and where the worst musician on the street is still better than most I’d hear at my local. The heat, the architecture, the voodoo history, the people. All good.

2. What is the best gift you’ve ever been given?

I just got an apple watch and I LOVE it. Self professed apple geek.

3. What is the best advice you’ve ever received?

Go back to bed. And I give that advice to myself every morning.

4. What is your favourite homeware you own?

I’ve got a big old case with the name HH Hunter on it. It was the dentist case of my amazing relative who died at Gallipoli aged 33, having already played AFL for Essendon and played American Football AND worked as a successful dentist. He set the bar high!

5. Who is your favourite musician?

I love the new album by The Weeknd, beauty behind the madness. He has a bit of a potty mouth but is totally addictive.

Kip & Co return with another bold bedding collection

With more than a touch of Ken Done, Kip & Co really do have a uniquely Australian aesthetic. It’s the vivid hues, bold prints and general sunniness of the brand that has garnered them a loyal following – many of whom will be pleased as punch with the brand’s spring/summer 2015 collection titled Summer Storm.

Kip&Co-Day1-371With a complete range of adult, kids and tiny bedding and accessories, this is Kip & Co’s most comprehensive collection to date. Cerulean blues sit alongside peach tones and crisp white and grey. Graphic prints and soft, muted ones ensure diverse tastes are catered for.

Kip&Co-Day1-448The range also sees the addition of some gorgeous abstract themed wall hangings – a new foray for the brand. “These statement pieces are so special. They’re truly made with love and encompass the same Kip & Co vibrancy and colour energy,” says Kip & Co co-founder Hayley Pannekoecke.

Kip&Co-Day2-527

The brand’s home offerings have also expanded to include luxe French linen tableware with napkin sets and tablecloths. A plethora of rugs and beanbags also feature alongside printed Hammam towels and roomy reversible linen bags and robes.

Kip&Co-Day2-240

And for the diehards, Kip & Co’s signature velvet collection can still be found, albeit in updated colours, alongside their bamboo baby swaddles and soft cotton pom pom blankets – a definite highlight.

Kip & Co + Jessica Rowe design beautiful cushion for R U OK? Day

In an effort to help raise awareness for R U OK? Day (10 September), boutique bedding company Kip & Co have partnered with renowned journalist, author, mental health advocate and mum of two, Jessica Rowe, to create a limited edition cushion design.

Jessica

All profits from the sale of the cushion will go towards supporting suicide prevention charity R U OK?. And if you needed any other reason to buy one, the cushion is colourful, bold and bang on trend!

Screen Shot 2015-06-15 at 2.18.28 PM

Jessica, like the team at Kip & Co, are big believers in colour therapy and its power to influence human emotions. The cushion design sees Kip & Co’s synonymous aesthetic fused with Jessica’s personal style, sense of humour and penchant for pink and leopard print. The resulting design is fun and full of love, designed to live in the heart of the home and serve as a reminder to never be afraid to reach out to those in your life and ask: “Are you ok?”

Screen Shot 2015-06-15 at 2.21.07 PM

“What we love about R U OK? Day is the simplicity of the message,” explains Alex van der Sluys, Kip & Co’s co-founder. “It doesn’t take money or a lot of effort. It’s a simple act of kindness that can provide immeasurable benefit to another person.”

Jessica adds: “We want to encourage everyone to look out for friends, family and colleagues and ask “Are you ok?” and inspire others to do the same. If this cushion can serve as a reminder to ask that question, and help even one person, then we’ve achieved something special.”

Screen Shot 2015-06-15 at 2.18.08 PM

The Kip & Co + Jessica Rowe for R U OK? Day cushion is available for $79.00, with 100% of the profits going to R U OK?.

Jen’s 10 best baby blankets

Aha! I do believe when it comes to blankets, I have found something which fits (perhaps loosely) into the category of homewares, therefore I can blog about baby stuff sans guilt. Am I right?!

This baby of mine has more blankets than you can shake a stick at but they’re actually all getting used in rotation because let’s face it, in this weather, you can never be warm enough. It’s actually pretty hard keeping a baby warm in this weather. Our power bill is going to give me a heart attack this quarter, I just know it! So here are 10 of my favourite baby blankets; many of them Australian, half of which we already own and the other half Seb wouldn’t mind adding to his rather impressive collection.

5 BLANKETS WE OWN

1. Mooi Baby Reversible Foxey Star Blanket $159.95*

FOXEY BLANKET

This is our latest acquisition and current fave in the blanket department. Made of baby alpaca and pima cotton, this is double-sided and oversized so super warm. I may or may not have stolen it a few times for my lap on the couch. And we love everything foxy and/or navy in this house so this was always going to be a winner. You really have to see and feel this blanket — which comes in its own cloth bag — to appreciate its quality, which is extremely high. Rightly described as heirloom quality in my opinion, it would make a gorgeous gift for a new mum. They have other designs too.

seb stars mooi blanket
Sebastian

2. Sunday Ganim Stripes Blanket in grey $129

I’m a fan of a neutral when it comes to most linen, even baby linen, but this one hits a very happy medium with its touches of pale blue and bright yellow. This one always gets comments. Its 100% Egyptian cotton makes it a nice light option which we often fold double in Sebastian’s bassinet or pram. The cotton holds the Okeo-tex® Standard 100, which guarantees the highest sustainable and ecological practices in textiles. I also love that this one’s made in Melbourne.

3. Kate&Kate The Jane Baby* $109

I’ve long been a fan of Kate & Kate’s grown up blankets, so no surprises I love the mini versions too! This is a simple design but it’s the details that count, like the lovely blanket stitching around the edges and the cloth bag it comes in. Another 100% cotton option, this one also gets used in Seb’s bassinet. It also happens to match his blue and grey pram (the Bugaboo Bee3 with bassinet) perfectly!

4. GatherKids Pure Cotton Soft Blanket* from $180

Bennett27

gatherkids blanket

If you love an old fashioned crochet blanket, a la Princess Charlotte, you need this GatherKids option. We have the bassinet size in grey and love it. Because it’s smaller we often taken it out with his capsule or in his pram. I just love how this looks like it could have been passed down generations but is in fact brand new! It’s a beauty! These are made in New Zealand and individually knitted, pre-shrunk and tumble dried.

5. Pottery Barn Kids Honeycomb Stroller Blanket in grey* $49

honeycomb-stroller-blanket-z

This is a great size for bassinet or pram and you can’t go wrong with grey and white, especially if you’re buying for a baby whose sex is as yet unknown. I love the navy version too and at $49 it’s great value. Cotton/acrylic blend.

5 BLANKETS SEB’S GOT HIS EYE ON

1.Kip & Co Baby Tartan Pom Pom Blanket $129

How cool is this?! No wonder it’s currently sold out. In true Kip & Co style it’s totally out there but who said all baby blankets had to be pastel and pared back? I love the pom poms! In peach and red 100% merino wool, I’d say this is a unisex option. (We love the nap wraps they recently gifted us too).

2. The Camo in blue by Atelier/Child $225

Atelier/Child is the new luxury children’s knitwear label founded this year by ex Vogue Australia deputy editor and founder of The Grace Tales Georgie Abay and communications consultant Jessica Baird Walsh. This on trend blanket is made of a cashmere/wool blend.

3. Little Bonbon Rocking Horse Beige/White $49.95

baby-rocking-horse-beige-8

There’s something wonderfully old school about this rocking horse design and I do love a neutral option. This Australian-designed, reversible cotton knit blanket is the perfect size for a pram or bassinet or perhaps just snuggling on the lounge! Little Bonbon also sell some lovely baby shawls, including this one which is rather reminiscent of Princess Charlotte’s!

4. aden + anais Organic Muslin Dream Blanket $89.95

Everyone RAVES about their oversized muslin wraps for swaddling, so it goes without saying aden + anais’ organic muslin blankets would be something pretty special. They promise to get softer with every wash. This 100% organic cotton four-layer blanket is the ultimate in breathability; warm in winter and cool in summer.

5. Weegoamigo Knitted Baby Blanket Geo Charcoal

This on trend geometric is just one of the fun designs by Weegoamigo, available from The Little Linen Company (who also sell the Airwrap, the safer cot bumper alternative). A premium double-layered knit blend of 30% bamboo rayon and 70% cotton, this one’s nice and warm and comes gift boxed.

Disclosure: Blankets marked with an asterisk were kindly gifted to Sebastian with no promise of coverage.

Kip & Co’s limited edition Art Series Beanbag collection

As lovers of their local art scene, the girls behind lifestyle brand Kip & Co decided it was high time to shine a light on the talented artists they had been crushing on.

Screen Shot 2015-06-18 at 9.55.28 AM

[contextly_sidebar id=”NqB5OizWhvb7RRfk1KSByrub0RsqPONj”]Asking all budding arty-types to send in their own design for their chance to win a Kip & Co prize pack and, more importantly, see their print as part of a limited edition Art Series Beanbag collection, hundreds of entries began pouring in. “We spent hours drooling over the weird, wild and wonderful creative minds out there” explains Kip & Co co-founder Alex van der Sluys. “It’s made us even more pumped about the depth of talent both local and global – a serious smorgasboard of arty goodness!”

Narrowing the hundreds down to four, today Kip & Co introduce their first ever Art Series Beanbag collection, featuring the work of Letitia Green, Devinder, Mr Smudge and Rawaan. 

Screen Shot 2015-06-18 at 9.54.28 AM

Letitia Green, who has a background in design and illustration, combined traditional batik style influences and African inspired block print symbols of flora to create her beanbag, urban echo. A happy clash of chaos and rhythm; colour and line bounce playfully together to create an energetic and uplifting design.

Iu3krrMpXOEKWEIpUrB0j-aqzMGmJLnqfpX_0E_KzLg

Devinder, who after a break from fine arts is just getting back on the creative wagon, took guidance from fiber arts for her beanbag. With the piece beginning as a random simple line stitching on paper, Devinder had no plans in mind, before inspiration struck!

0INIPNARXDTOd_uz84KUb3pCRawSrd77WBQWw6LLcgA

Mr Smudge, a surfer and graphic designer with a passion for illustration, based his beanbag print on the many characters he’s met through surfing; from surf crazy youth to surfboard salesmen.

tfdAVawbukee7tSV4i1fHmG0HUHcQ7aisYxjzP281Fw

Rawaan is an artist and writer from Dubai, who currently lives in Brooklyn, New York. A textile designer her winning print, Sticker Collection, was inspired by the sticker albums of her youth, full of a motley collection of all kinds of tiny precious stickers.

Kip & Co’s AW15 collection: bedding, sleepwear, kids and babies ranges …and more!

Ever since I got my hot little hands on Kip & Co’s Autumn Winter 2015 HIBERNATE lookbook, I’ve been counting down the days until I could share it all with you; and I’ve got to say, you will not be disappointed!

H_jPocbD1XTQ0PV1zXs2LXC_OIwX5iS9aLyUiBMeT_k

“I know you can’t have a favourite child but we seriously love this range so much it might just be our favourite yet,” explains Kip & Co co-founder Alex van der Sluys. “I think that’s partly because we are so excited with all our new categories! We have done our first foray into lounge and sleepwear for adults and kids, bringing our bold, signature prints to KIP BODY; we’ve also extended our KIP TINY range with baby nap wraps, swanky blankys and play mats; our rugs are back with a vengeance; and we’ve got new corduroy bedding and beanbags!”

2iWA9daS9lINIlZpzThSJbih6VYMf7_WiKPFUEtmowo

Gudbk0IYNrl1Oqx5Y0QRPPbl8uXeY3_3F7tGmEa103o

As always, HIBERNATE, which is available to pre-order from today, is not about following trends. Inspired by the everyday — friends, family and the world around us — Alex and co-owners Hayley Pannekoecke and Kate Heppell have a list of print and product ideas so long, they think they’d have enough to last them 40 years!

However, lucky for us, they’ve managed to fit a fair few of them into this collection. “We’ve gone all out with our AW15 range because if we’ve got to stay indoors all winter, we’re about making that as fun an experience as possible! AW15 is our most comprehensive to date, with a big emphasis on bold prints, warm wintery textures, design edge and comfort.”

MnERr7nlfJc14Iw-iWqW492P3d1Lpi7xH3bQVB2fgGQ

Q-2WkhxJa2JMl4SSAG9L4neF-2yW2VShZo0-CFaLRNU

Designing bedding oh so well, this season the girls decided to launch lounge and sleepwear too, believing there was a real gap in the market for PJs that are comfortable and cool. “We spent ages finding the right fabric — it’s crazy soft, 100% cotton jersey, so most importantly it feels great. With the addition of our signature Kip & Co prints and bold colours, we’ve created something really unique that we hope people will love as much as we do!”

wPYooIZqRWPCt_LL2Er9uXKvjNrOeLMu8hJ1NhFmi2M

Growing their TINY range was also a natural progression, thanks to their cot sheets being received extremely well last year. “That response really confirmed for us what we already knew: that there is a really big appetite out there for baby gear that has an edgy designer element to it. It doesn’t need to be all white, pink or blue! So by popular demand, we’ve expanded into 100% bamboo nap wraps to swaddle your little tikes, 100% bamboo swanky blankys and play mats, in addition to our expanded cot sheet range!”

jmJf0Qb3bkwV8XMH-HylnZY3Nckqlkxq_lZfl63t2wU

With such an extensive collection it’s hard to pick a favourite, so rather than decide, I asked Alex to! “I actually am loving the rugs – they’re so poppy, textural and fun. I think it’s so hard to find an affordable designer blanket these days and I am really chuffed that we have been able to offer something so special. I’ve already marked one down for me!”

Founder and director Kristy Withers said its Sydney store opening was the next logical step: “We have received great support from our customers since we opened our Bathurst store in 2012, but were constantly asked if we had a Sydney presence. We’re really excited to welcome existing Sydney customers and also introduce ourselves to a new pool of Incy fans.

The 10 best places to buy Aussie kids’ line online.

“Many customers still prefer to buy from a traditional bricks-and-mortar store. They like to touch and feel a product before they buy it, especially if it’s for their child.”

Kip & Co for babies’ cots!

Kip & Co designers Hayley, Kate and Alex have brought their signature bright, bold colourways and prints to the nursery, giving in to the demand they’ve experienced since launching their much loved bedding label.

Kip&Co_HR_Finals (75 of 94)

Kip&Co_HR_Finals (72 of 94)

The first Kip & Co TINY collection is comprised of six designs in fitted cot sheets and three baby blankets. Three of the sheet sets feature a print collaboration with super cool kidswear label Munster Kids: Munster Leopard, Munster Mash and Munster Camo.

Kip&Co_HR_Finals (71 of 94)

“We wanted to be challenge what traditional ‘baby bedding’ looked like,” the girls said. “Pastels and whites have dominated this market for such a long time and we felt that if older kids were really into their bright bedding, then we couldn’t see a reason why vibrant colours and cool prints wouldn’t work in a nursery as well.”

The adult bedding includes a retrospective of Kip & Co’s signature style and prints, reenergised in classic hues spliced with bold colour pops. The kids range is playful and fun, to create the perfect bedroom for little girls or boys. Kip & Co for Home Republic’s super soft towels are generously sized and add a splash of vibrancy to any bathroom.

This season, Kip & Co have collaborated with the team at Melbourne-based fashion label Mister Zimi, a natural fit for the pair, with both being known for their vivacious prints and easy-going aesthetic. Together, they’ve created a range of geometric print bedding in fresh seasonal colours, designed to capture your inner beach babe.

Incy Interiors and Kip & Co are two companies who pride themselves on designing products to make interiors unique, playful and anything but traditional. When I found out that they were collaborating on a line of kids’ beds and cots I was extremely excited to see what they had in store, and they didn’t disappoint!

Available from September, Incy Interiors founder Kristy Withers believes this collaboration is a match made in heaven: “I’ve always loved the colourful combinations and unique designs the Kip & Co girls come up with and it’s really exciting to have their input into this exclusive range.”

Kip & Co co-founder Kate Heppell agrees: “Collaborating with Incy Interiors was a natural extension for us. This collaboration proves that the fun shouldn’t stop with just the bedding. We were able to create beds that blend great design, colour and a hint of playfulness, perfect for those cheeky kids.”
