We met Pure Lana at this year's Decorex International trade show in London and absolutely LOVED EVERYTHING. The quality and design of every product was something different and special and everything stood out to us. Pure Lana create purely organic throws and cushions from llama and alpaca wool and some merino wool products (which were our favourite). We loved the heavy, chunky merino wool throws which were probably the softest thing I've ever touched. We also loved the stripe collection, which had a lovely handmade touch of the countryside to it. We'd certainly like to be working with Pure Lana in the near future to create some custom made designs so keep watching this space!

From their website:
The 'naturally luxurious collection' of home ware products is totally organic and free from chemical dyes and bleaches. Using traditional craftsmanship, only 100% natural fibres such as cotton, raw silk, llama, alpaca, corriedale and merino are used to create luxurious throws, pillows and blankets. These soft, warm and durable pieces are the ultimate in luxury and timeless.  
We have also created a luxury range of fashion accessories working with pure cashmere, alpaca, merino and sheep's wool.  Timeless elegance and sophistication is the inspiration behind the accessories range.  Each piece feels lovely against the skin, is beautifully made and durable. 
‘Touch’ is the principal theme behind the our range. Each product is either hand woven on looms or hand-knitted with care, passion and real attention to detail which results in a uniquely comfortable, durable and luxurious texture.
The collection strives to produce the perfect alignment of stylistic elements necessary to satisfy a diverse range of tastes. Each piece within the collection is a forever product. 
Pure Lana is proud to be a Campaign for Wool (CfW) partner, a global collaboration aimed at educating consumers on the natural benefits of wool and support for farmers across the globe. Click on the CfW logo to learn more.

Darono is a Portuguese company that exhibited for the first time this year at Maison et Objet. We love the natural feel of the products and the way they stay true to their real, tactile sense of texture without feeling too traditional. The bold colours and modern shapes are what really make the Darono brand. Overall they have a great selection of products, which, although they come from humble handmade, traditional techniques, are executed with a true contemporary feel.
