A box made of tape...

...arrived today. I feel fairly confident nothing has fallen out this time!

Though, I'm not convinced it should be recycled as paper... ;-)

Feeling fall

Believe it or not this is on my way to the studio in the morning. Hard to believe I'm cycling through a city. Even a small one.

This morning it's windy but sunny and the air is mild. There is an undeniable tinge of autumn in the air. It always makes me a bit melancholy even if it is a season I love.

The water is still warm and I'm hoping I'll have time for a dip this evening.
But right now I'm waiting for DHL to bring me the last of the deliveries for this season...

In case you are curious as to what all the noise is about...

These are the amazing shawls I'm waiting so impatiently for. They are super-multi-purpose and can be turned into almost anything! Arrival tomorrow, they say... Cross your fingers! More pics of "The Garment" at Robert&Blad. Photos by Daniel Pedersen.

Tangled

The exterior is a pretty good illustration of the interior currently. Many tangled and loose ends needing have to come together, and they will soon.
Getting very promising meetings sorted for a trip to Stockholm in a few weeks. Can't say anything of course, for fear of jinxing things.
Waiting for the last Robert&Blad clothes to arrive from the factory... Hopefully tomorrow. And sort of treading water while waiting.
And getting in a slightly melancholy autumn mood...

Gray monday...

Malmö is very gray and humid today and the air is like breathing warm molasses. This makes for a slow and slightly stupid designer. Will make no serious decisions today. Just trust in my favorite tools, especially my Elvis coffee mug to take me through the day without any serious mishaps...
Yeah, maybe lay off the sharp tool all together... Wish us luck!
By the way, deliveries of the Robert&Blad collection are on their way to the shops, as we speak (or whatever you call this).

The eagle has landed!

Deliveries are here from the factory! All boxes arrived in good condition. Very exciting!!
Now we "just" have to sort it all, label and repack for our customers.
No small job, I can tell you! But a very satisfying one. :-)

A very happy designer & a new colourful Bag-in-Bag!

Striped and colourful, just like the parasols at an Italian ice cream stand.

It doesn't get much more like summer than this!

Of course, it works nicely with a perfectly matching skirt made from an old tablecloth...
But that's optional ;-)

Sunflower yellow and...

... apple green.
It's friday afternoon and the sun's coming out. Don't think I'll work that much more today.
Have a brilliant weekend, everyone!

Bag-in-Bag

Currently I'm working on the Bag-in-Bag. It's a limited series of bags, made from waste material from previous collections and projects.
The polka-dot drawstring inside the tote prevents things from falling out when you throw the bag under your table at the café. And also makes it harder for unauthorized hands to get in your bag in crowded environments.
It will come in two sizes, two-handled tote and a smaller partybag on a long shoulderstrap.
Of course it has an inside pocket for your phone.
Besides the black with red polka-dots, hot off the Pfaff, are some great, candy-coloured, striped ones, that will put a sun in the sky and a smile on your face!
Now lets see who will retail them...
