A Powerful Play of Colours DENIM HAS THE ABSOLUTE TALENT OF BEING AN ALLROUNDER WHEN IT COMES TO COLOUR COMBINATIONS. THE DARK BLUE MAKES ALL COLOURS SHINE, AND WE ARE HAPPY ABOUT EVERY RAY OF LIGHT IN THE DARK SEASON.

321-18 Blouse “Merle” In vogue: striking large retro patterns plus frills which are still highly trendy ! This blouse is definitely an eye-catcher. The frills provide the romantic moment and the asymmetrical neckline makes it casual and modern.

321-19 Skirt “Blue” Denim, Baby ! Both elegant and cool at the same time – denim skirts with button facings. They come in a wide variety of lengths and colours, with large buttons or plain snap fasteners, but in any case they “cut a fine figure”.

321-20 Mini bag “Yelli” The plain shoulder bag is ideal for a smartphone, but also serves as a purse because it has enough space for cash and cards and a few small items.

WE HAVE CHERRY-PICKED TWO DRESS TRENDS AND SHOW HOW NOSTALGIA MEETS SUBTLE RETRO INFLUENCES. FLORAL PRINTS STILL CLING STYLISTICALLY TO THE SEVENTIES AND LOUNGE DRESSES ARE SLOWLY REPLACE JOGGING TROUSERS.

321-12 Jersey dress “Swantje” We love lounge dresses ! The cut is casual enough to spend a whole day stylishly in the home office and comfortable enough to go on a shopping trip or to spend an evening out with friends. Because one thing is for certain: such dresses are 100% presentable.

321-13 Bow-tie dress “Hilda” A beautiful complement to the softly flowing dress with the special sleeve shape is a narrow scarf that can be tied to a bow so that no further accessories are needed as helpers. Just tie it once and you’re done.

Time to Shine !

SPARKLING FASHION HIGHLIGHTS PUT US IN THE LIMELIGHT THIS WINTER. SO YOU CAN DO WITHOUT A DISCO BALL IN GOOD SPIRITS. “SPOT ON” FOR YOUR SPLENDID APPEARANCE !

321-30 Blouse “Ava” Soft silk, shiny SWAROVSKI® crystal buttons and other Swarovski embellishments make this blouse particularly festive. A glamorous appearance is definitely guaranteed at every festive occasion !

321-31 Trousers “Silvi” Chic and yet comfortable ? That works – in Marlene trousers ! With their simple cut, they just look elegant and feminine.

321-32 Clutch “Moonlight” This clutch made from glitter fabric shines in all its glory.

Social Round of Games

28

IS THE WEATHER ONCE AGAIN TO STAY AT HOME ? WHAT ABOUT A ROUND OF GAMES WITH THE FAMILY OR GOOD FRIENDS ? SIMPLY MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE ON THE FLOOR WITH A FEW CUSHIONS AND YOU’RE ALL SET FOR ACTION.

321-50 Board game “Backgammon”

321-52 Cushion cover “Quilt”

The ancient board game looks much better in a modern setting. And who actually states that the board always has to be rectangular ? With all kinds of colourful felt remnants and practical sewing aids, the board is a project for precise hobby sewists.

This cushion brings cosiness ! Soft imitation suede and volume fleece ensure the snuggle effect.

The special structure of the cushion cover is achieved thanks to quilting.

321-51 Little bag “Stones” The backgammon pieces are stored in the handy little bag. The decoration is inspired by the triangles on the board. By means of the Embroidery Software, we used the relief stitch filling and significantly increased both stitch length and distance – a great effect !

321-53 Cushion cover “Ribbons” Have you ever woven something instead of sewing it ? The ribbons are made in no time at all, and it is very exciting to see how the colour mix develops while weaving, which might whet your appetite for experimentation.

321-54 Cushion cover “Border” Winter, wool, woollen yarn – relief embroidery !

What suits the cold season better than warm materials ? The diamond pattern echoes the shapes of the backgammon game.

WE MAKE OURSELVES AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE AT HOME, EVEN MORE SO WHEN WORKING FROM THERE ! EVERYTHING HAS TO BE STYLISH AND FUNCTIONAL. THE ABSTRACT FACES KEEP US COMPANY AND PROVIDE A VERY PERSONAL TOUCH.

321-40 Folder Face-Line, the line art, consists of a single stroke and captivates with a minimalist design. The sketch-like faces can currently be seen everywhere – a new decoration trend !

321-41 Holder for mobile phone charger Charging the smartphone – outlet available, but no storage space ? Just dangling your mobile phone is a thing of the past when you own this stylish and practical charging station.

Have the courage to show your true face !

321-42 Door hanger Please do not disturb ! There are many reasons for this, and with these pretty door hangers for the whole family, everyone can express themselves individually.
