Lucky Boy Sunday

Lucky Boy Sunday is a Danish brand specialising in knitted kids toys and soft furnishings. Danish designers Camilla Koerschen and Camilla Ebdrup founded the studio in 2007 after studying textiles and art. All of Lucky Boy Sunday's designs are manufactured in Bolivia where alpaca have been bred for the use of their wool. Products are then knitted by talented women in fair trade cooperatives across the country. Koerschen and Ebdrup say "we support some of the poor population by giving them a good job and a fair price. At the same time the Bolivian knitters make our dreams come alive..."

Take a look at how cute these kids toys are!

 

 

Wool Week

This week Australia has been celebrating Wool Week. Some of Australia's top fashion and interiors retailers are in to support the spotlight on wools' natural qualities and versatilities. The official Wool Week is 29th April to 5th May but many stores will continue with their wool displays until the end of June. This year the Campaign for Wool has partnered with interiors brands Orson & Blake, Fanuli, King Furniture, Workshopped, Supa Centre Moore Park, Designer Rugs and Great Dane, among many more.

Due to wools versatile, resilient and innovative features it is becoming more and more accessible for interiors. Wool will stand years of wear and tear, even more so now with the new technologies involved in creation of interior products like upholstery, carpets, curtains, cushions etc.  

To launch Wool Week in Australia, artist Magda Sayeg (previously mentioned here) has created 6m tall knitted tree coverings at The Strand Arcade.

Fashion brands Camilla & Marc, Collette Dinnigan, Ellery, David Jones, Gorman, Kookai, Sambag and many more have celebrated wool week through in-store merchandising and window displays.

Country Road has created a video exploring the tactility of wool clothing (watch below).
