Christmas has always carried, for me, its own joyful poetry — the flicker of candlelight on a decorated table, the song words we return to year after year, the beauty of gathering with those you love. The Bespoke Noël Edit was born from a wish to capture that feeling: a collection of pieces created slowly, by hand, with meaning stitched into every detail.
Linen with Story
Each Christmas cushion, table runner, and tea towel in this Christmas Collection is made with wholly European made linen. Our French Consul linen is made from flax grown in France, woven in one of the last surviving family-run mills in Ireland, and hand-cut and sewn in Ireland and Australia. All our linen goods pass through the talented hands of many special artisans. This is linen with memory and soul, soft-washed for everyday ease, yet crafted to last a lifetime of Christmas mornings.
Words That Belong to You
In a flowing calligraphic script, Cathy Penton has beautifully hand-stitched festive words onto every piece: joyeux noël, fa la la, merry + bright, joy love peace, and more. These are words that feel nostalgic, timeless, and true — chosen by you, so each cushion or runner becomes part of your own family story.
A Collaboration of Crafts
Our linens are styled alongside vintage silverware hand-stamped by Mel Mander-Jones of The Coastal Marketplace. Cathy’s needlework, Mel’s silverware, and our French Consul linen meet around the Christmas table — three women, three crafts, working together to make something quietly beautiful for your home.
Why Artisan Matters
In a world of fast and disposable, artisan pieces carry the touch of the maker, the heritage of Europe and Australian-made, and the care of small creative businesses. To bring something artisan into your home is to choose authenticity — objects with story, not sameness.

"My favourite memories of Christmas are of decorating the tree (every piece in it's place!), setting the table, adding lights wherever possible, and welcoming friends and family into my home with simple, home cooked fare - oh, and champagne served in a coupe!"
A Palette of Calm & Classic
This year’s Christmas edit is offered in soft neutrals — Cinnamon, Biscuit, and White. Colours that sit gracefully in your home. A timeless Christmas palette for refined, classic interiors, ready to be layered with greenery, candlelight, and the traditions you hold dear.
Designed by You
The true beauty of the Bespoke Noël Edit is that it’s yours to shape. Choose the words that resonate. Choose the linen that fits your home. Each piece arrives not as a trend, but heirloom quality — custom-made for your story.
Because Christmas isn’t about more, it’s about meaning.
