perfect parcels

Feels like Christmas at Olli & Lime today. We just took delivery of three much-anticipated packages; the culmination of a recent, and extremely exciting, top-secret collaboration.

Each pretty little parcel matches an O&L range, but you’ll have to stay tuned to discover exactly what’s inside. All will be revealed in the next week or so…I can [...]

Jack + Jade are “committed to indentifying and highlighting emerging designers from around the world who share the same love of unique and modern [...]

sixties style

A quick retail snippet I’d like to share. Our retro-style Charlie pillow is making a cameo appearance at Joss & Main; a members-only event site, offering short-life discounts.

The pillow is one of many products in a Mad Men-esque curated collection, assembled in conjunction with Maegan Tintari, the blogger behind fashion/style site …Love Maegan.

Our Charlie pillow is [...]

lavender and lime

I noticed this ages ago, then forgot to share. Never too late, I thought, so here goes. This mention of our George range (bottom left) appeared on the buymodernbaby.com blog.

It’s not the first time – blog writer and curator of all things stylish – Esther has mentioned us (as I’ve posted before) but I thought this design [...]

pink anticipation

Our UK factory took time out to show us how things are shaping up with our new design. Here’s a peek at the crib quilt, featuring pink/gray pinwheels, with matching gray edging.

As with our other designs, each quilt comes complete with a handy little drawstring bag, made from matching fabric. People use these for all [...]

bumper reaction

As some of you may be aware, Chicago City Council recently took the unprecedented step of banning the sale of crib bumper pads in the city, due to concern that these products pose a threat of suffocation. We thought you might appreciate the O&L take on this.

As a UK-formed company, now based in the US, [...]

p-town

We recently ticked a long standing ‘to do’ off our list; taking the fast ferry from Boston to Provincetown, Cape Cod; squeezing it in before the distinctly fall-like weather arrived.

Provincetown is famed for its gay population, and enjoys all the benefits that tend to follow almost automatically; great food, art, eclectic shopping and an ultra-friendly, relaxed vibe.

What [...]

just modern

We’ve partnered a new retailer this week. Just Modern sell Mid-Century Modern-inspired home accessories. Right up our street. Initially, they’ll just be stocking our pillows, below.

As a side note, we’re ever so slightly (read ‘very’) jealous, as they reside in Palm Springs; a Mecca for Mid-Century Modern design. We’re already planning a warm winter visit

totally awesome finalists

Totally awesome news. Literally. About a month ago, I said we’d been asked to take part in the Red Tricycle Totally Awesome Awards. Well, now we’ve been chosen as finalists!

And it’s thanks to you guys. To anyone who nominated us (you know who you are) we’re VERY grateful. To everyone else, it’s not too late [...]

olli and lime and jenna

A follow-up to last week’s customer post now. Mom Deanna also revealed she threw a baby shower for her cousin Jenna, who chose us before knowing Deanna was an O&L fan.

Jenna, from Bakersfield, CA, gave birth to baby Xander – appropriately – on Mother’s Day this year. The pics are from the beautifully conceived (pun intended) shower, [...]
