Tukanni by Kayiwa
Cash Money by Orange Beautiful
Saffron Marigold
After graduating from the University of Art and Design in Helsinki, Ugandan-born designer Lincoln Kayiwa started his own brand product design company, called Kayiwa. Shown here is his Tukaani cutlery design, inspired by (and named after) the bill of the toucan. Hand made and crafted from sterling silver, Tukaani is designed for Asian food consumers in the West, and is used in the same manner as chopsticks, but (unlike the traditional wooden variety) is also machine and hand washable. You can contact Lincoln for more info on purchasing and/or ordering a set of Tukaani.
Emily has a fun new type print available from her Orange Beautiful Etsy shop, called Cash Money. Available in six different colour combinations, it'll either inspire you to save your pennies or blow it all on something great (maybe like this print).
California-based Anisha Ghosh launched her online shop Saffron Marigold in 2005 after falling in love with traditional Indian handcrafted textiles while traveling through India. As the artist and designer behind Saffron Marigold's products, she brings a fresh twist to the traditional Indian motifs that inspire her, adding a modern colour palette to her line of handcrafted, hand block textiles, all printed on 100% cotton. Anisha also brings a slow clothes movement philosophy to her business — her textiles are created with an eye to safeguarding traditional crafts, and are dedicated to Fair Trade practices.
