…the Tassel Queen's that is.
Well it's been another lively year in the Urban Croft. The order book was full, we showed our tassels down in the tube station at Old Street for the London Design Festival, talked at The British Museum, judged the Textile Art section for the Koestler Trust and chewed over the next big colour stories for 2016 on the Mix trends panel. Phew!
And 2015 is already shaping up to be another stellar year. It's also going to be a bit of a landmark one too as it's my 25th year of working in the creative industries. It's been quite a roller coster and to be quite honest I'm amazed that I've lasted this long. So over the next twelve months I'll be picking my personal 25 favourite products, designs and projects. To get the ball rolling and in no particular order…
NO.1 THE TONKIN TASSEL
The Tonkin, from one of our first collections, Formosa, launched in 2008, is my favourite tassel. I loved it from the minute I made it. It's quirky, colourful and happy. The collection was inspired by Chinese frogging, Central Asian ikats and the traveller Hippie Trail of the 60's. This tassel is also one of our best sellers and to mark our silver jubilee we will be producing a special limited edition colour way of the Tonkin that will be available from Jessica Light Shop in March. There will only be 25 ever made and each one will be numbered.
