“It’s a collection of table linens and tea towels that centre around what it looks and feels like to live, love and entertain in Melbourne,” says Jannah Stevens of Charlie & Fenton.

The bespoke prints are designed and hand-painted before being transposed into digital form and then printed onto luxe Belgian linens and natural fibre base-cloths.

“We believe that entertaining should be fun, exciting and stylish and that, for a short while each day, the dining table can become an uninterrupted oasis of serenity and good times for family and friends,” says Jannah.

After decade long careers in set design, textile technology and interior design, Jannah and her business partner Isabella, created their independent textile studio. “We were looking for something more in our creative lives and we knew we wanted to offer people high quality, unique soft furnishings in a market that is so saturated with throw-away poorly made goods,” says Jannah.

Beautiful, unique ceramics by Takeawei

I was delighted to discover this Australian ceramics brand by a talented and well travelled Queenslander with a very impressive fashion background.

It comes as no surprise to me that Chela Edmunds’ work is being stocked by Sydney’s Koskela,which is a serious stamp of approval for anyone! Takeawei is a range of beautiful and useful objects in clay, covering a handful of trends with its ombre, animal print and neon designs, while still offering something very unique and endearingly imperfect. I particularly like the diversity of her pieces.

Chela says: “I’m so happy to be in Koskela! Being that I can only make a limited amount of pieces each month I knew I couldn’t supply everyone. Koskela was at the top of my list. They have such a refreshing approach to retail as a lifestyle experience.”
