I'm so excited about this Organic '11 freebie. Les Indiennes is the very first fabric company that contacted me after seeing the CNN clip. A huge box of fabric arrived a week later that took my breath away. Not only was it organic, but it was hand printed. Yes, you read that correctly, hand printed. It is called the Kalamkari Process and this is how it is done (all photos and captions property of Les Indiennes):
I mean, how beautiful is this? I could nap here anytime. Now, go get yourself a cup of tea, curl up in your favorite chair and have a nice long look at the Les Indiennes FLIP BOOK. Simply. Stunning.
I cannot say enough kind words about Les Indiennes and founder Mary Mulcahy. The fabric is stunning and Mary has been an incredible supporter of Green Bag Lady for over 3 years!! Thank you Mary and everyone at Les Indiennes! We heart you!
So, if you are still with me, there is a freebie involved, I promise. How about these 8 gorgeous bags…
And 3 insulated lunch totes INCLUDING a reusable SIGG bottle!Lunch tote is Les Indiennes fabric outside and inside is chocolate brown organic Harmony Art fabric…
Totes are quilted, fully lined and close with a magnetic snap…
