unto this last

journaled under: creatives, decor, products, shoppe

Such exquisite and effortlessly chic craftsmanship by Unto This Last.

These UK craftsmen have vowed to make beautiful things locally at their London workshop. And because each piece is custom made to order, it allows them to offer an ever-growing catalog of over 2,000 products.

As a bespoke tailored business, Unto This Last is most focused on simplifying logistics and cutting costs, thus eliminating the need to warehouse, package or transport any of their goods. Quite the green business model footprint.

Read more here, if you please. As you can tell, I’m smitten!

Oh my, major design crush on textile gem, Naomi Paul. She designs exquisitely using a blend of recycled, upcycled, organic, industry waste and British luxury materials. And recently named a 2012 London design darling to watch by Homes & Gardens. Bravo!

Perfect spring silhouettes + wares from Rennes, a Boston-based company.

Proprietress, Julia, even has a branding iron. So cool.

Loving Julia’s photostream too…so fun seeing past seasons + studio shots.

The sweetest of petit wares from Baby Amore.

Love the styling, and those darling little hangers, designed by Connecticut-based Deanna Amorello – a dear friend with an eye for all things lovely. Quantities are limited, so do hurry over.

WB&CO packaged to perfection.

Those clever Brits surely have outdone themselves with their London line of organic vegetable juices. So pretty, and I imagine equally as tasty.

I love that healthy is the new normal, with gorgeous branding to boot. It makes me so happy to see design elevated to a new standard, with flawless and thoughtful packaging at the forefront.

Judging a juice by its bottle? Why yes; A+ in my book!
