Annie
Phillips has pursued a career as batik artist for 25 years.
Her work caught the attention of Liberty rug buyer Bruce Leperehas
who was inspired by her designs to try ‘something completely
different’, the result is a range of hand woven rugs exclusively
for Liberty. www.anniephillips.co.uk |
A
walk in the park This beach basket with sturdy leather
handles is pretty enough for the most carefully planned outing and
practical enough– it is lined in a lovely painted rose oilcloth
and has an elasticised pocket to keep all manner of bits and bobs
safe – to become an everyday favourite. Rose Beach Basket,
£35, Cathkidston.co.uk |

Fashionable
living If Celia Birtwell’s fashion lines for Topshop sold out before you could get there you can breathe a sigh of relief. She has picked four of her most popular fashion textile designs and transferred them to the home. The new linen collection is entitled “Pop Story” and if you can’t bear to leave home without it Millets has the answer. Their Celia Birtwell candy flower dome tent is this summer’s smartest moblie home. From £55 per metre www.celiabirtwell.com Tent, £69.99 www.millets.co.uk |
