Schoolyard Studio Tea Towels, $25
I’m super excited for this because this eco design duo is one of my faves. Schoolyard Studio is the name, and I couldn’t really share them with you earlier because their website was a no-go and I know how you guys don’t love it when we post things that are only available to Torontonians.
Well, I’m glad to say that their website is now up and running, and it may just become your new favourite go-to for eco gifts and original finds.
Schoolyard is a collaboration between designers Katy Chan and Hilary Dennis, based out of a screen-printing studio in Toronto. They’re basically print junkies who get their inspiration for everything they love: the city, the ‘50s, nature and eco-responsibility. Everything they make is hand-printed on recycled, reclaimed and/or organic material.
Two of my favourite products are their wallpapers and tea towels, but they also do a line of greeting cards, calendars, bags, baby bibs and onezies, pajamas and even underwear. Unfortunately, their wallpaper (left), is not on their website, but I’m pretty sure it’s still in production so if you’re interested – and I suspect you will be – contact the girls through their site for details. You can also contact them through their blog.
Has anyone else seen their stuff?
