No, not a new ice-cream flavour (more’s the pity!), just the perfect way to introduce two newly available fabric designs in…um…pumpkin and pear.

As you may know, we’re in the midst of a seconds and sample sale. We’re clearing some old stock, plus some slightly imperfect new stuff…all at crazy prices.

Anyway, ‘mid-rummage’ we unearthed some fabric from our two ‘retired’ Egg designs. Behold, (seasonal) pumpkin…

…and pear…

Both fabric designs are available for £6 (around $9) per metre from our sale page, to make curtains, blinds or whatever you like! :-)

A while ago I posted about our George and Billie fabric being available to buy. I promised Egg fabric was on the way, and here it is…

As if by magic (tenuous I know) fabric has ‘appeared’ in the Olli & Lime warehouse! This fabric will soon be available by the metre from our website…

From August you can buy it in our George (above) and Billie (below) designs, with Egg following close behind.

The fabric is perfect for making curtains and blinds (or whatever) to match the rest of the Olli & Lime collection :-)

Some more pics from Karen’s trip to our main fabric printer, this time showing our Egg design in pumpkin and teal colourways…

Karen has become semi-obsessed with the fascinating print process and had to point out an anomaly to me from the image below…

Eagle-eyed readers will notice some colour gaps in the Egg design. This was shot mid-job, before the machine made its return journey along the fabric :-)

Here’s a peak inside our new fabric printers. Not the greatest quality shot admittedly (via mobile) but you get the idea…

Pictured is a 50m+ stretch of fabric in our Billie design.

The latest production run will be available to buy from our site and our retailers later this month.

Woo-hoo, Olli & Lime cushions are here! Pictured is our ‘billie’ cushion in roasted brown, with complementary wallpaper in burnt orange…

All our cushions and matching wallpapers will be available to order from this Saturday via our website.

Plus, we’re thrilled to announce that finally our duvet sets and fabric will also be available. It’s been a testing and tiring few months for us, but we’re finally ready for a full product launch!

So, if you haven’t looked already, why not spend some time clicking through our newly-designed pages this weekend? We’d love to get your feedback, so please tell us what you think :-)

fairtrade furnishings on the way

March 19, 2008 · 2 Comments

news

We’ve gone Fairtrade at Olli & Lime! We’re incredibly impressed with our partners at Tomato Source who’ve managed to find a manufacturer to produce our entire soft furnishings range on 100% organic cotton in a certified Fairtrade factory.

We originally attempted a first for the UK by printing our children’s soft furnishings on an 80/20% bamboo cotton mix. Unfortunately, due to cost and technical constraints, this hasn’t been possible.  We do hope to overcome these issues though and introduce a bamboo-based fabric later in the year.

In the meantime, we’re more than happy to offer our customers 100% organic cotton furnishings, produced with an ethical and environmental Fairtrade guarantee. The range should be available to order from April and we’ll provide a sneak preview of the new spring designs very soon.
