Beci Orpin - new range and GIVEAWAY!

Lovely things from Beci Orpin's latest range

Friendly faces! (Cushion, brooch, pouch, cushion).


Beci Orpin is a bit clever, isn't she? She's just launched her new range of 'functional collectables' - things like cushions, purses, pouches, notebooks and brooches. I love how each piece has Beci's distinctive kooky character - those smiling cushions seem like such friendly faces to share your loungeroom with!

To launch her fab new range, Beci has generously offered a giveaway for Design Files readers! To get your hands on a cute little family of Beci's latest goodies - which *I think* includes a journal set, a leather animal pouch and a brooch - leave a comment here before the end of the day!

Stay tuned tomorrow and I'll let you know who won! Thanks Beci! ;)

inkyfight said...

Beci is beyond amazing, I was a bit of a latecomer to her work and have since got a Beci/Princess Tina-eBay bookmark which I check several times a week!

I was sad when PT finished but these new homewares look great! I'm particularly hoping she is the Creator of the gorgeous toothy containers as seen in her kitchen on your luffly site!

We can only hope! :)
