Pick of the Week: Adelene Simple Cloth Pillows

Today on the blog, we're featuring one of our absolute favorite finds from High Point Market: Adelene Simple Cloth pillows. With a manifesto just as beautiful as their pillows, it doesn't take much to guess why we love them so much:

This is the story of good things that only get better with time. 

Like the hand-stitched cotton quilts, sheets & pillow cases in Grandmother Ada's linen chest, always soft yet sturdy, crisp & cool to the touch. 

Or the adventurous character of Nana Elene, whose passion for travel, painting, & piano was as vibrant as her taste in textiles. 

Fabric with a buttery hand & a hardy character. Color & texture that satiates the spirit. Past & present through warp & weft.

Adelene Simple Cloth is the art of living simply & living well.

With an emphasis on integrity, ethics & quality, Adelene sources fibers & yarns both locally & globally in order to create impeccable woven goods with character & tactility. For instance, their line of Sturdy pillows are made from heavy-duty, vintage washed, & yarn dyed cotton canvas & feature antique pewter zippers. In their Sunday Best line, they utilize unique fabrics, such as bamboo & viscose, as well as washed linen sourced from Belgium. And although they may source fibers from all over the globe, Adelene's finished goods are custom sewn with pride & care in New England. An American made company that focuses on making beautiful products the right way...what's not to love?

Cozy Corners: Rustic Living Room Vignette

Last week at the Paris Market we completed a huge store-wide reorganization & with that has come a lot of great new spaces down in our basement. This rustic living room vignette is definitely one of our new favorites! We're all about the nitty gritty details & this space is full of them. From the vintage books to the natural curiosities to the hanging votives, there is always something new to catch your eye. And, of course, it's hard to miss the centerpiece of the space: the beautiful, taupe, Paris style sofa. If you can resist the pull to curl up & take a nice, long nap, then you certainly have more willpower than we do! Be sure to stop by the store soon so you can explore our basement & see all the great, new spaces for yourself!

The Artist's Entry

With back to school right around the corner we've been hard at work preparing our displays for the busy season! Keeping an artist's studio in mind, we've lined our entry table with a creative, colorful vignette that is filled with John Derian plates, colorful pillows, natural manzanita branches and the lovely aromas of Archivist candles. Featuring the wonderful paintings of Simoni Trapsioni, this tabletop display is such an inspiring little nook in the store that undoubtedly greets each customer with a burst of creativity. Get ready for the fall season, it's bound to be filled with numerous exciting and creative projects!
