Textiles that take inspiration from travels are already winners in our books. And when they're as eclectic, laid-back and vibrant as the bohemian and indigenous communities of India, even more! Which is why Tell Tale has all our praise. This textile studio headquartered in Mumbai and selling on the LBB Shop pays homage to the gypsy lifestyle and gives us an opportunity to embrace the same. So, if rare handlooms and luxurious fabrics with rare textured prints and designs is what you want to bring home, bookmark this recommendation right away!
Every statement pillow, cushion cover, soft floor covering and throw has us going gaga over its free-spirited and gypsy nature. Think bold, storied prints and geometric motifs that tell tales of culture from far flung places -- most of them neutral and monochromatic with a dash or a pop of earthy colour (burnt oranges, deep wines, forest greens). Some of our top picks to add depth and dimension whether to a living room, bedroom or corridor are -- Yonder, a folkloric inspired floor rug to a add touch of modern bohemian luxury (sits well in both contemporary and traditional interior styles). The hand tufted woolen yarn and asymmetric design is what makes this one of our Tell Tale faves; Orange Fern, called a surface agnostic pillow (stretchable and long-lasting), this one boasts different textile techniques of digital prints, silk yarn embroidery and large hand made tassels.
Tell Tale's collection is varied as it is vast and many of their pieces can be bought together and mixed and matched to add mood to any space.
