Today, our friend and artist Lucy Mahon takes us on a journey through her neighbourhood, East London, and shares her favourite spots and some hidden gems with us…

Welcome to this year’s edition of our annual gift guide. We’ve compiled a list of bits and bobs that we currently fancy and added some favourites from our friends' businesses too. May this gift guide make the festive season more joyful and less hectic for you.

Wedding season is just around the corner so we thought we’d give you the opportunity to get some advice from stylist Grace Wright. Here are your answers from our most recent Instagram poll…

Our new essentials are an ode to warm summer days spent philosophising about life while eating ice cream in the sun. In short: they’re all about the beauty of simplicity.

We’re excited to introduce you to June’s muse of the month: Claudia Del Olmo. Together with her best friend Cecile and her sister Isabella, she brought Casa Balandra to life, the most beautiful artist residency and guesthouse on the magical island of Mallorca.

As a small, sustainable brand, we have - proudly - never participated in Black Friday - and won’t do so this year. Here's why.

In the spirit of optimism, we want to share our ultimate summer to-do-list with you.

Our crochet pieces have their price - we know. Each piece is handmade by Michi, my amazing mum and co-founder of arkitaip. She has been crocheting since she was only 5 years old and her work is incredibly detailed, precise and simply beautiful.
