Welcome to this quarter’s Editors Letter!
I hope this email finds you well and that you have been able to enjoy the somewhat fleeting sunshine! As we gracefully embrace these summer months I hope you all find joy in long days, the warm sun on your faces, and the prospect of the sand between your toes.
Of course, so much has happened over the past year since I last wrote. Let’s get into it!
Handmade In London
One of our main highlights was introducing chic new designs to the Handmade in London collection. We carefully design all the pieces before they are skillfully constructed in London, close to our homes and hearts. These special pieces are infused with our passion for luxury design; a paradigm for our expert craftsmanship.
Dome Deco
This June, our lovely friends from across the pond at Dome Deco kindly invited us to a champagne-filled furniture launch! The girls from Sales and Marketing headed off to visit Dome Deco’s Belgium showroom to see their divine new collection first-hand. As always, we are exceedingly proud to be exclusive resellers of this gorgeous Belgian brand.
Love The Way You Live
A personal highlight of this year was filming reels for our Love The Way You Live campaign, we had so much fun!
We were delighted to work with Macie Moore, a little Sweetpea star, who Bailey adored and vice versa. A special thank you to Macie, Connie Simmonds, and, of course, Bailey.
Our team would love to welcome you to our London showroom for your own Sweetpea experience!
Wonderful Weddings
Wedding season is well underway and we couldn’t be more excited! Our team has carefully selected a dream wedding list, full of exquisite table decorations, timeless treasures for the loving couple, and many more special pieces.
Celebrations
2024 marks eighteen delightful years of Sweetpea & Willow. Our team celebrated the occasion with a trip to one of our favourite restaurants, Sam’s Riverside, just a stone’s throw from our showroom. The evening was filled with sublime cocktails and delicious food. We have since had some delightful new additions to our marketing team: Savannah, Harrie & Hannah!
Beloved Bailey
This brings me to arguably the most heart-warming event of the year: our beloved Bailey’s 7th birthday! Our sweet Bailey, with his wagging tail and irresistible expressions, brings boundless joy to our lives both at home and in the office. His calming presence and morning ritual of greeting each team member with hopes of a cuddle or scratch, never fail to lift our spirits at work.
This summer, Matt, the family, and I are heading back to our dream destination: Ibiza. Known for its stunning scenery and fashionable interiors it is an endless source of inspiration for us. We’re thrilled to be working on an exciting project there, and can’t wait to share some sneak peaks with you soon.
In exciting news, we’re taking Bailey with us for the first time! He’s sure to leave his playful pawprints on the beautiful island of Ibiza.
Follow us on Instagram for updates and endless interior inspiration.
Here’s a glimpse of what Bailey’s been up to so far:
Trend Predictions
I’d like to highlight how much we love curating new collections which incorporate the freshest trends, timeless textures and classic silhouettes. So let us finish with predictions for the upcoming season. I expect to see lots of burled wood, the continuation of quiet luxury, and many naturally inspired pieces. Additionally, I believe organic, earthy tones will remain popular and we should expect to see more playful patterns such as fun, funky stripes. See some of our favourites below!
Final Note
I’d like to finish by saying how grateful we are for all the wonderful happenings this past year at Sweetpea & Willow. Myself, Matt, and the team are all looking forward to getting stuck into the next one and hope you will continue to follow us on this exciting journey, you are always welcome here at Sweetpea!
