SO Christmas Faves
It’s a time-honoured tradition: Scouring the Internet for the most outrageously, over-the-top, incredibly expensive gifts. Not so this year! Truth be told, we’re approaching Christmas with what many might call a new resolve. For starters, we’ve found a whole new appreciation for our personal space and things closer to home. Social distance, curfews, hand sanitisers and masks are par for the course. (Rest assured, they’re not included in SO Christmas faves!)
It is our hope, however, that our selection will not only transport you to a happy place (ought that to be happier?!) but to also open your eyes to the affordable luxury that surrounds us. This might well be our most memorable Christmas yet… for the simple reason that we are alive to enjoy it.
1. Pussbackfoot’s first holiday collection!
Express your style a little differently this festive season, with Rooted, Pussbackfoot’s first holiday collection! Curated to capture the spirit of the brand’s minimalist design sensibility and love for natural, organic elements.
