Pattern Frenzy

We have Marc Jacobs and Dries Van Noten to thank for the awesome mix of printed patterns.  Just when we were getting bored, designers like them give us yet another exciting challenge.

But long before this printed trend hit the runways, Dwell Studio was already out in the market with their classy blend of quirky prints as interpreted in their lines of storage and utility boxes, linens, baby, table, accessories and travel items.  To officially welcome the brand to our Philippine shores, Adam Gobble of DwellStudio New York paid a visit recently to introduce them to an exclusive group of guests at The Peninsula’s Presidential Suite.

Guests such as new mom Juana Manahan-Yupangco, jeweler Candy Dizon, stylist Michael Salientes, and blogger Liza Ilarde (who happens to have a great knack for mixing prints) had a great afternoon checking out the new arrivals.  From lunch boxes to pouches, even utility bags… DwellStudio gives each of these items a refreshing new look. 

Dwell Studio’s Gretchen Uy and Oliver Dexter Sy gave The Peninsula’s presidential suite a fun vibe.

Pattern Happy

I recently paid the baby section of Rustan's a visit, and found that DwellStudio is now available. For those who are not familiar with the brand, it started out as a textile design company, and has now branched out to beddings and other home furnishings. They’re quite known for their bold prints, colors and patterns—all of which are made using low-impact dyes that do not have heavy metals and other toxic substances. The fabrics used are also formaldehyde free, and has eco-friendly pigments, too.

Super cute prints for the crib

Their products are made for babies and kids, and the prints are just tooo cute! It’s no wonder Hollywood moms love DwellStudio, with the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Live Tyler, and Katie Holmes as recruited trusted fans of the brand. Packaging comes in the form of eco-friendly materials as well, eliminating PVC. Boxes and bags can now be reused for storage, too!

Would love to get this for our baby boy :D

Although they're made for babies and children, who's to say we can't have fun with them too? I am in love with their prints, soooo happy! Check these out:
