Happy New Year 2013

I wanted to wish you all the best in this new year and thank you for all of your support in 2012. It was an amazing year of growth and inspiration. I'm looking forward to creating simplicity and peace in my everyday 2013, enjoying my family and freinds and the amazing gifts I have in my life. Please check out our stockist page on our website to support stores that carry Ambatalia wares.

Having some holiday fun with  Bridget Crow ( up and coming textile designer and dear freind) at my workspace in Mill Valley. She is wearing Ambatalia linen Modern apron and playing around with Furoshiki.

Ambatalia every day scarf Furoshiki

I have been looking for the perfect fabric to do a Ambatalia every day Furoshiki scarf.  This is a very high quality linen( hand stitched with extra loven) and measures 42"X42" out of Ireland.  I would say the color is black but it is woven with a soft white to give a softer look. Now when you're
 clothes shopping in the big city you can rip off your scarf to make a big phat bag to carry everything just like super WOman! The turtles, fishies and whales will love you for it and you be looken good working your magic.









 The starting point to make a bag ( two knots on diagonal corners)
then just bring the other two corners and tie!

Getting ready for S.F Gift Show

A huge success at the S.F gift Show thanks to Maria Schoettler, Colleen Hennessey and Chromaculture. We showed a selection of goods such as Maria's famous seasonal fruits and veggie calendars, Two Market bags, the modern apron, three styles of Furoshiki including Alice Waters Pantry list and locally plant dyed using Native California Toyon, a new produce and bulk bag and two new wine bags. I will go through them individually to show you the very special features of each a little later.
