PHONE WALLET

Keep all of your essentials safe and in one place with this card and phone wallet. Play around with plains and patterns to make it colourful and playful, and perhaps most importantly, hard to lose!

FABRIC BANNER

Make a statement with a hanging banner above your desk – it features one of our all-time favourite messages. Add colourful tassels to brighten up a wall and you could even personalise it with your own appliqué designs.

LAPTOP CASE

Rarely do we use our laptop cases for just our laptops, so the pocket on this will come in super useful for carrying our notebooks, stationery, and even our keyboards.

FABRIC PINBOARD

Stay organised with this fabric pinboard that's both practical and decorative. Keep reminders and inspiration in sight and use the pockets to store your desk essentials.

JOURNAL CASE

Take a plain notebook and cover it in fun fabric to make it your new favourite. With a stud clasp and padded case you can make a basic journal look really special. This would be a great back to school or work gift.

ROUND SEAT CUSHION

You can't concentrate if you're not comfortable, so treat yourself to a soft cushion that makes you choose working at your desk over working on the sofa. Add contrast binding and a button to match your office space.
