Shorties: February 2012

Klippan Blankets

The beautiful Klippan blankets are another Swedish design treasure that Shorties loves, and stocks. Klippan Yllefabrik is a Swedish company, owned and operated by the same family since 1879. Their main business in the past has been wool products, but in the 1990s they began enlisting some of Sweden’s best fabric and graphic designers to help with their burgeoning home and children’s textiles sales. The range of blankets we stock make a beautiful pram or cot throw, and are a popular baby shower gift. New styles just in.

100% cotton chenille Size: 70x90cm

Native Boots

Shorties are now stocking the uber cool Native Boots. In store now are the 'Fitzsimmons' boots in a range of exciting colours.
These boots are made for walking and and the list of amazing features goes on. Native boots are: Washable, Water Resistant, Beast Free, Dual-Density, Shock Absorbent and Odour Resistant (this feature is a winner don't you think?). Love these boots!

Available in sizes 4/5, 6/7,8/9,10/11 and 12/13 $85pr

Little Paper House Press

The Little Paper House Press is passionate about greeting cards, letterpress, and handwirtten words.

They are a small Sydney based studio who produce greeting cards using antique letterpress printing presses no longer in use by commercial printers.

The colours are rich and the sentiment perfect. Each card is a little piece of art. Very sweet indeed.

Cards just in at Shorties, $5 each.
