Artist : Fog Linen Work

For the past few years, I've been coveting from afar anything made by Fog Linen Work, a Japanese textile design company.

Yumiko Sekine couldn't find affordable, every day linens back in 1993 so she tracked down several linen producers in Lithuania and had them produce her own designs. Amazingly, I have yet to find anyone else in the world who offers such beautiful, simple designs of such high quality.

Every now and then I would find her wares in the States but I recently learned from Arounna that you can now order directly from Fog Linen Work's website! I immediately placed an order three days before the devastating earthquake. I received an email two hours before the quake that the items I ordered were to ship out shortly. Needless to say, I didn't expect to see them anytime soon. But, amazingly, they arrived two weekends ago, less than a week later. My package contained two beautiful tunics which I have been thinking about for several years.

I couldn't resist these two scarves, it was hard to choose between them all. The quality and colors are impossible to see through a photo. I've never seen such high quality linen.

I also succumbed to  the wonderful Around Linen catalogue which profiles artists who showcase the linens throughout their homes and studios, pure eye candy. Peruse online now for some instant gratification.
