Perks of the work
Aww, look at what long-term Skinny laMinx friend @strikkstrikk posted on Instagram of a tea towel design that’s so old, I can’t even remember its name (help?), but it’s great to see that it’s still going strong, and looking good.

Living with Skinny laMinx
One of the biggest perks of this job is when we get to see how our customers use Skinny laMinx fabrics and products in real life, in their own homes. We must have the most stylish fans ever, like this one from Design Store, with a range of our Weft and Orla pillows. To see …

In the shop: Custom cushions
You probably know that we make up our cushion covers in three standard sizes (60×60cm/24×24″, 50×50cm/20×20″ and 40×60cm/16×24″), but did you know that Skinny laMinx makes custom sized cushion covers too?

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…
