I think the most special gift is ALWAYS the gift of colour... and this is a very cool colour gift! From one of my fave shops, Present and Correct - colour swatches from 1978 House and Garden magazine.
-
Giving the gift of colour is always the best idea - this is a true treasure of a paint palette from Beam Paints- all their paints are so incredible and special anything from Beam will always be a fabulous gift!!
- Another wonderful colour/paint source is Pigment Tokyo-- their sumi inks are so amazing. It was hard to choose but I selected the Indigo ink for this list- it's just such a beautiful object - it comes in a lovely box and I just love that it's made with natural indigo!!
- Speaking of natural indigo, one of my fave gifts to give and keep :) is this lovely indigo mending kit from Handwork Studio. It's just such a precious bundle of indigo dyed fabrics including vintage Japanese cloth- plus thread and trims. So lovely! So handy for small projects and patchwork mending!
-
There's really no treasure like art. I've been designing new styles for the KAD line and naming them in honour of artists I admire, whose work I LOVE! One of the newest dresses in the KAD AW22 collection is the Shary- for the wonderful Canadian artist Shary Boyle - if you dont know her work, please check it out now. She's a genius! Her gorgeous print is available through NSCAD print shop here.
-
Another artist whose work I just adore is Marcel Dzama- another Canadian who I think lives in NYC now. His gallery in Berlin published a gorgeous book of his latest work- you can get a signed copy with an original drawing by the artist.
-
I really love the work of Shuvinai Ashoona- her prints are so spectacular- I love this one a lot! The Craft Ontario shop has an incredible selection of prints from the arctic by Inuit artists, as well as GORGEOUS textile pieces and sculptures too.
- No list of Gift Guide treasures would be complete without some bling! Specifically, one-of-a-kind embroidered bling from France! Celeste Mogador makes wild and wonderful brooches - this is my fave!- they are works of art to wear!
- More wearable art- incredible super cool sunglasses inspired by Peggy Guggenheim- from the wonderful very inspiring Berlin-based artist, Maryam Keyhani. She also makes the BEST hats!! And her paintings are great too!
- I also had to include this incredible treasure-- the most lovely and special Yard-O-Led fountain pen- you can have it engraved to make it that much more of a personal treasure for the treasure-seeker on your list!!!
