RainDance

RaindanceRight now umbrellas are the farthest things on our minds here in California. However, the print designs on these umbrellas are so unique that we had to share. RainDance is a London-based umbrella design company founded by Sujata Sagrani, who started the company because she couldn’t find an umbrella she liked in a country where the climate is predominantly rain. We’re anxious to see new designs from this recently established company.

SuTurno

SuTurnoLoving the patterns on these scarves created by print designers Julia Vergara and Javier Gutierrez Bavo. The Madrid-based designers sell them under the brand name, SuTurno. Besides creating their own brand they also design exclusive prints for a large number of international clients applying their art either to fashion collections or interiors. Be sure to visit their site as the patterns cannot be fully appreciated until you see how beautifully they drape over different parts of the body.  The scarves can  be purchased here at Big Cartel.
