Hello my lovelies !
If you follow us on facebook ( www.facebook.com/olieindia ) or on instagram ( @olie_living_lighting ), you already know that we are in the midst of one of the most fabulous NEW product launches ever !
Here is a little Behind the scenes peek into one of our first collections to launch : The Sea and I
Every collection begins at the drawing board, literally. A sketch translates into artwork on a screen that Nirmala and Shanti then hand-print on to metres of soft fabric.
The picture right on top is one of Nirmala preparing a screen for this collection. It's easy to fall in love with every step of the process, each person adds so much soul and beauty along the way. Next, the freshly printed fabric makes it's way to our studio where we then plan, design and start cutting, sewing and adding our little special hand-sewn touches to a cushion cover, lamp, box or a little journal.
A little verse, and a beautiful photoshoot later, we launch the Sea and I collection. The whole process takes about 6-8 months from start to finish, no mean feat. But you always, always make it worth it. Thank you for your love !
For whatever you lose
(like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves
we find in the sea
