Wool Rug for Kids - RUUUGS. Colaboración con Tashka Rugs

Hello! Hope you are well and safe 💚
Even on these tough days, there are good things happening that make my heart dance for a while and keep me dreaming on better days! 💓
Here is the new RUUUG, my collaboration with the amazing project of @tashkarugs and their children's rug collection. I’m so happy to see my design on these beautiful artisan rugs…
Each rug tells a story about the people who made them: This rug was designed by me and hand woven by Hanan, Fatima and Zahra. 🌿

Ruuugs create products made in an ethical and traditional way and connects the technique of the artisan women from Morocco with the creativity of designers and artists from around the world.
Pay a visit to @tashkarugs to know more about this great project and the making process of the rugs ☺️ 🌼
You can read on their website the interview they did to me.
Made of 100% wool, they can be hung as a picture on the wall or also, as soft and fluffy carpets, decorate rooms or playrooms for children. This RUUUG is 90cm x 70cm. But It can also be done in a larger size 140cm x 70cm.
Ruuugs are made specially for each of you and are produced by demand. Due to the artisanal nature of this product, the time of preparation of your order can be 4 to 5 weeks.
👉Available on pre-order from @tashkarugs,  or in the store @muima__ .

❤ Secret Keeper Collection ❤

A collection of girly vintage Handmade Bags inspired by Big Eye dolls and Twiggy, featuring a very sixties doll face stitched on the front and two legs hanging from the bottom bag.

Besides holding the essentials to go for an evening walk as a small phone, keys, lipstick, coins purse... And as the collection name says, these mini bags are created to keep all your little secrets, thoughts or wishes.

There's an inside pocket containing a blank notecard for filling in with secrets, and another notecard for you to choose from different occasions: Happy Birthday, Happy Xmas or a Love greeting.

They made the cutest envelope for sending a love message or the most original greeting! 

It will be a really cute handmade unique and personalized gift.
