panama hats are fair trade and so finely woven they can be rolled
to fit in your pocket or their own balsa wood box. View the entire

My
girl lollipop... As an avid textile collector and admirer
of Stig Lindberg and Josef Frank it’s no surprise that Siobhan
Trewick’s Lollipop Shoppe in Brighton is a treasure cove of
Scandinavian design. The objects on sale echo her style and include
Andreas Linzner toy elephants and Lucienne Day tea towels
