Sponsored birdy post: Radici
You may have noticed a new addition to the Wee Birdy nest, in the form of our very first advertiser, Radici.co.uk (cue wild applause and much whooping). With a seriously gorgeous line-up of hand-crafted gifts sourced from around the world, I couldn’t have asked for a more appropriate sponsor.
Hand-finished stainless steel brooches, clockwise from top left, Yellow scribble, Claret waratah, Green flower, Turquoise wool, all £45 each.
Silk wool felt handmade rose scarf, £140.
The stories (and people) behind the products are also pretty interesting. Take Canvasco, a German company that hires female prisoners to make bags as part of a community-based rehabilitation project. The bags have a utilitarian graphic simplicity about them that I love, and they’re made from recycled boat sails or woollen Swiss army blankets from the ‘60s (ticking all the design, eco and ethical boxes).
Urban Swiss Girl bag, £110.
With Christmas just 44 days away, here are my top 5 gift picks:
Hand-knitted Fritz, £45.
Claret flower brooch in hand finished stainless steel, £45.
Stitched strelitzia Perspex cuff, £85.
Lavenderbod hand-made keyrings, £5.
Pair of bone-china tealight holders, £45.
