Market

(situated in the car park of Frank Kitts Park)

Saturday 7th June

10am - 4pm

Continuing on from the very successful Pop Up Shop and the recent Better Home & Living Show, Verdant will be at the Retro Recycled Restored Market this Saturday. 

Kate, my intern for the week, has been busy making cushions, and fashioning a new stand out of 2nd hand and recycled materials for our magnets.

The magnets are made from our collection of fabric offcuts, using cellulose glue, ensuring we have no wastage with the majority of the fabrics used.

We will have a new stock of cushions, including another batch of the Godwits cushions and some new Trams & Bicycles in deep red with a lovely organic cotton stripe on the back.

We will also have a few lamps and shades on display and the organic cotton bedding collection.  

Eco Fashion Expo

Verdant along with Vida Textiles, Tishrei Designs and Eco Fabric will be in Lower Hutt for the Eco Fashion Exposed Show.  This one of its kind show will take place near the end of July, and we will be showcasing our ever increasing range of organic and ecologically grown fabric collection for both the home and for clothing

Vida is getting together a collection of dress fabrics, so if you struggle to find clothes that fit your idea of being Ecological like me, then you may just find something here. If you are sewer or you know someone who sews you can order fabrics, if not, we can put in in touch with people who can sew, and you could have your very own unique clothing made from organic fabric.

The show will have a range of stands that showcase local and international fashion designers, along with a Catwalk show over the 4 days.

Watch this space for more details for tickets, times, and location.  

Open Studio

Don't forget, Verdant has an open studio on Wednesdays from 10am until 5pm, or we can open by appointment, or even come to you. We have the full Vida Textiles range here in the studio.  A stunning collection of organic & fair-trade fabrics and bedding.

Hope to see you at the market or the studio soon.

Better Home and Living Show

2-4 May 2014

Friday & Saturday 10am- 6pm Sunday 10am-5pm

It is that time of year again when Verdant will be at the Better Home & Living Show.  The show on at Westpac Stadium just gets better every year. It is a lifestyle show that covers not just ideas for your home, but better ways to garden and better ways to live in our community. 

Entry is $8 or for a 2 for 1 ticket – download this invite

You can also check out the full range of fabrics from our sister business Vida Textiles; Where we have been working with two Wellington Designers to produce some gorgeous digitally printed organic cotton and hemp fabrics. We will be showcasing five new fabrics from two Wellington Designers; Tracey Tishrei of Tishrei Designs & Anthea Grob of Eco Fabric. 

Both Designers are not only inspired by nature, but protecting the environment is behind the whole ethos of their work.; Which fits perfectly with both Vida and Verdants philosophy as well.

You may recognize the Godwits fabric, from a couple of years ago. We have finally managed to do two new batches. One on 100% Hemp- perfect for upholstery and the other batch on Hemp % Organic Cotton - a lighter weight perfect for lightshades, curtains, cushions and anything else you can think of! 

Anthea has also designed the beautiful Olearia fabric, based on the curl of the leaf of the Olearia tree.

Tracey has produced two stunning designs on the organic fabrics. Butterflies and Seaweed. 

We will also have some stock of the Sleep Frog Organic Cotton Bedding fabric available to purchase and take away on the days of the show.

If you are unable to make it to the show, our Open Studio on a Wednesday will re start on May the 7th.

Otherwise we hope to see you at the show.
