We’re thrilled to share that our Kaleidoscope Collection, designed in collaboration with passementerie artist Elizabeth Ashdown, has received Livingetc’s Style Award for Best Decorative Touch. This honor celebrates not only joyful expression through color and a fresh take on tradition, but also the enduring value of exceptional craftsmanship.
Rooted in the rich traditions of classical trimmings and brought to life with a bold, contemporary spirit, this collection celebrates the interplay of color, texture, and craftsmanship. From hand-tied tassels to dynamic braids, every piece is a radiant expression of artistry, reimagined.

“This recognition is particularly meaningful as it celebrates the artistry of passementerie — a centuries-old craft that is endangered in the UK. With only four craftswomen still designing and creating passementerie by hand in Britain today, this award not only honours our dedication to exceptional craftsmanship but also shines a vital spotlight on preserving this exquisite traditional skill.”
- Elizabeth Ashdown
Elizabeth Ashdown’s intuitive approach to color proves that even the most familiar palettes can surprise in the right hands. Her reimagined take on traditional trim inspired us to think outside the box, like adding a little flavor to the kitchen with a dash of crete.
“The whole point of a finishing flourish is that it’s fun and this is the most fun final touch I’ve ever seen.”
— Livingetc's executive editor Pip Rich
