This summer, I came to appreciate the refreshing bitterness and gorgeous colour of a Negroni cocktail, which is why I think Heath Ceramics’ fresh-pressed palette for their Summer collection makes perfect sense. Love the new glaze names too: Orange Glow, Cayenne, Tangerine, and Sunrise, and love that there’s lots of Skinny laMinx in the seasonal mix too. In the …

Jungly home
It’s always fabulous to see how people have used my prints, and this jungly interior in a Cape Town holiday home, put together by decorator Lisa Walters is particularly exciting! Get the jungly look with our Fronds and ZigZag prints, available as readymade cushions, or as fabric by the metre.

Fab Fans: Easter Bunny
This post is simply a giant thank you to Skinny superfan Pam Hoffman, who spent far too much of her long weekend trying to photograph a somewhat freaked out Atticus bunny in one of our Soft Buckets, simply to remind people that we have a special offer on the Buckets (you get a free Bucket …

The animals know
We’ve been spotting some furry little guys around the web who seem to have their world firmly under control (with a little help from Skinny laMinx). And then, of course, there’s #Pablothedachshund, who takes lessons in How To Live (and Skinny fandom) to the next level. And they say that humans run the show? Hmm…

Friends & Neighbours: VAMP Furniture
We have so many fabulous stockists of Skinny laMinx all over the world, and right here in South Africa, too. One day, we’ll manage to visit all of them, but for now, we’re lucky to have a long-time favourite just a short stop away, at 368c Albert Road, just opposite the Old Biscuit Mill in …

Then and now
It’s four years today since we turned an old scooter repair shop on a near-empty Bree Street into the bustling emporium on the buzziest street that we have today. What a lot of change in four years! Happy Birthday to us! Thanks to everyone who has supported us along the way – our stockists, fans, shoppers, …
