Southern Flourish: For the Chic, Young & Modern

Have you ever heard of Southern Flourish? This digital magazine will transform the way you view interiors. The pages of this magazine pop with color, interesting interviews, and the latest trends.

We were honored to be featured in this month’s issue.  Check out the preview below:

Here’s another peek of the moxii feature, which is titled “Bringing Street Style Indoors.”

From the pages of Southern Flourish:

We love Washington, D.C. for its great mix of Northern and Southern style — and we love Emily Wall, the blogger behind DC Here Now for capturing the eclectic style of the city’s residents.

We were so inspired by Emily’s photos that we asked Birmingham-based home decor store and online boutique Moxii to put together three bedrooms based on some of our favorite shots from DC Here Now. Were they up for the challenge? You better believe it!

We Heart Our Handmade Featherweights

The Garden Dream Collection featuring the Dancing Dahlia Featherweight

We know you’ve heard the phrase “one-of-a-kind” when we describe our products, probably too many times! So instead of saying it once again, we thought we’d show you instead.

The process in which are unique featherweights are made is quite intriguing. Created in the cottage regions of India, the featherweights are hand-printed and made in the most ecologically friendly way possible.

Below is the process, which is called Kalamkari printing, the earliest and more complex techniques of block-printing on cloth using vegetable dyes.



All Natural Fibres, All Natural Dyes:

Vegetable and natural dyes are used in the printing process. Most natural dyes use mordants to fix color onto fabric. Only natural fibres are used for the hand-woven fabrics.

Preparing the Cloth:

Fabric is washed in a natural bleach and milk to help whiten the fabric and stop the dyes from spreading.

Hand-Blocking the Pattern:

Hand-carved wood blocks are used to print an outline of the pattern on the fabric with an iron acetate.

Setting the Dye:

Mordant is then applied with the help of a block to fill in the pattern. Mordant is a substance used to help set dyes on fabrics.

Before the Dyeing Process:

This is what the fabric looks like printed with mordant before it is boiled.

Dyeing the Fabric:

The fabric is boiled in coloring materials to bring out the desired color only in the area where mordant is applied. The use of a copper container brightens the color. This featherweight was dyed with red color.

Washing & Drying the Fabric:

The fabric is washed and dried. For each color this process must be repeated.

Making the Finishing Touches:

Gold paint is sometimes applied to the finished product. This is done using a wooden pen called a kalam.

See our entire collection of one-of-a-kind featherweights here. Oh, we couldn’t resist to say it again!
