When Kate & Kate first launched in 2013, their small collection of cotton blankets won the hearts of many, mine included. Since then, they have well and truly made their mark on the interiors scene with a growing range of textile products and twice yearly seasonal collections. Today I am thrilled to present Kate & Kate's latest campaign for summer 16/17, Eastern Point.
Inspired by the landscape and culture of Australia’s most transportive coastal retreats, the collection is a study of contrast between free-form, hand drawn shape and stark geometric design. Luxurious natural fibres are, as always, a focus, with the introduction of luxurious natural linen and hand woven cotton. Shot on location at Sydney's beautiful Tamarama Beach by talented duo Renata Ferko and Maya Vidulich of The Descendants, this season's incredible lookbook is my favourite yet. In addition, Kate & Kate have brought the vision to life with this beautiful film by Lynden Foss.
Now for a closer look at the collection, I'm really excited about the stunning new White Night Throw and Cushions. Loomed by hand, these pieces are inspired by the coast of Byron Bay and the brilliance of the summer sun. Featuring a particularly fine finish, their light-weight nature makes them the perfect choice for the warmer months.
Since the beginning, the name Kate & Kate has been synonymous with blankets, using only the most luxurious natural fibres to create their extensive range. Available in a range of sizes, Generous Baby, Classic, X Large and Giant Blankets are all knitted from the softest, breathable cotton. When it comes to creating simple yet bold graphics and gorgeous colourways Kate & Kate always strike the perfect balance, delivering timeless designs. Loomed by hand using 100% cotton, the new season White Night Throw and Cushions look incredible either on their own, or paired with any of the new Blankets.
Kate & Kate Linen Throws have become a cult item since their inception 18 months ago. Beautifully hand screen printed on 100% linen, I can attest to their incredible versatility. From a light-weight blanket for the couch or bed, through to a beach throw, wall hanging, table cloth or picnic rug, this is a must-have piece for summer!
Eastern Point introduces a gorgeous new range of Kate & Kate Tea Towels and Napkins that both your kitchen and dining table will thank you for! Made from 100% natural linen, they have been screen printed by hand for enduring quality. The perfect accompaniment to the Linen Throw collection, the set of six beautifully packaged napkins would make the perfect Christmas gift. I may have to treat myself!
Kate & Kate Cushions have become another staple, known and loved for their high quality linen and 100% custom feather inserts. The new hand loomed cotton White Night Square and Rectangle cushions are perfect for summer, and like all Kate & Kate Cushions, they are designed to work across current and previous season blankets and throws.
For those who don't know, Kate Pascoe and Kate Pascoe Squires are sisters-in law, best friends and mums. I had the pleasure of meeting these amazing ladies in Melbourne earlier this year and I am so thrilled to have shared their incredible new collection with you today. All the new pieces are now up on their website.
Enjoy!
