The next Mata team holiday wish list comes from Laura, our Marketing Manager:
1. Convivial Production Hanging Planter – Most of the flat surfaces in my apartment already have plants on them, so I need to start hanging them! This planter is handmade in Kansas, and the cool graphic design fits my decor aesthetic nicely.
2. Oaxacan Tortillera Basket by Territory Design – These beautiful baskets are made by a group of women weavers in Southern Mexico, and continue a long tradition of basket weaving in the region. I love that they have lids so I can put things inside them and appear to have less mess around my apartment.
3. Blockshop Textiles Diamondback Scarf – I’ve been eyeing the beautiful scarves from Blockshop Textiles for awhile. They are hand block printed by 5th generation master printers in Bagru, India.
4. Pretty much anything and everything from the store Alapash – This is my favorite shop in Chicago – the owner sells a beautiful selection of fair trade/ethical items, handmade products by artists in Chicago and around the U.S., and awesome PLANTS. My husband could pick out any item from here for me for the holidays and I would not be disappointed :).
