As the weather starts to cool and we turn our attention inwards, our home becomes the perfect place to rest and rediscover ourselves.  With that in mind, this month we asked Melbourne locals Tara Whalley and Esther Sandler, who are no strangers to cold winters, to choose their favourite finds to the theme Winter at Home.

“Winter At Home means lots of our favourite deep blue colour, darker prints with bright highlights to make the gloomy season more fun, warm tea in handmade cups and love for the rainy city we live in – Melbourne!”

This warming collection of goodies can help inspire a thoughtful gift for someone special or even something for yourself!  Make sure you check out our other gift guides for curated collections of independent design!
