Actually we can not show enough examples, so much beauty. Score this book!

Vintage feeling feels fine

This May window show brings you into an atmosphere of revival. Babette Leertouwer from Halona designs beautiful t-shirts but she’s also a star in styling. Old suitcases, piles of discolored books and an old radio complete the ambience.

The new glint of things

RESTORED designers Nynke Sybrandy and David Derksen were invited to show their designs during the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan. They were selected by Tuttobene, who organise collaborative presentations for talented and innovative designers. We are very pleased to see them both doing so well!

David Derksen’s Copper Lights are still availabe in our store. Sadly Nynke Sybrandy’s Eternal Bouquets are out of stock at the moment.

Forgotten fabric transformed to perfect shirt

halona men shirt

With delicate shirts as a basis Halona designs applications made out of old ‘forgotten’ fabrics and leather. They use residual material from famous designers as Joline Jolink and Humanoid. The personal touch in the shirts lies in the varied forms, the placement of the applications and the combination of natural colors. Each piece is unique. Now in store, men’s shirts for € 59, -.

WOWW INDEED

We enjoyed the extraordinary patterns and colors and especially the new tea towels made our hearts beat faster.  The fabulous fabric designs are developed at the Textile Museum Tilburg.

A peek into the world of Cristel Ball

In the window of the month of April we pay extra attention to the work of Cristel Ball. A designer who is always on the hunt for little treasures. She has a love for crystals, skulls, crosses and combines vintage with the new. You will find a lot of beautiful dimes when you go and look in the Cristel Ball treasure box.
