Giveaway: a clutch from Grace Design
Welcome Grace Design, we're happy you are doing a giveaway with us!
What you can win this week :: this lovely clutch from Grace Design. It is made from a vintage silk kimono, hand dyed in Japan and shibori tie dye in vibrant purple and orange. It is also from the NOMAD Collection, which is all about found fabrics, travel and adventure.
What you have to do :: leave a comment below telling us - what is your dream destination - if you could go anywhere in the universe for a week, where would you go?
NOMAD was started over ten years ago after Alison (the creator of Grace Design), having returned from India with a backpack full of sari silk, was looking for a unique way to share her experiences from abroad. To this day she still lovingly gathers textiles from around the world to use in her designs. NOMAD is a collection of accessories made from found, limited edition textiles that have been sourced through Alison’s travels.
GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED :: the winner is Dreisena, congratulations!!














Tokyo, Japan! Love the culture, the scenery, the food, the arts, the people...

I dream of visiting the tiny village in the Austrian alps where my Grandma Irma was sent as a teenager during WWII. My Grandpa Fred met her there when he was a soldier, and when the war was over walked 200 miles to see her again and propose! They married and lived happily ever after until his passing last year. I loved my Grandpa deeply, and yearn to retrace his steps. The story is so romantic and beautiful; I think about it often, especially when I miss him.

Although there are many places I would love to visit, for many years I have dreamed of going to Bali, for its landscape, culture, beautiful ikat and batik fabrics, arts and crafts and delicious Indonesian food, so that would be the destination of choice for me!
