Melin Tregwynt at Maison & Objet

We did this show earlier this year and it was very successful despite our stand being difficult to find. We were really lucky to be featured in one of the Trend areas.  

Francois Bernard the designer chose to feature our work in the “Unplugged” area. We had a very long wall displaying our throws. 

We used the show to preview our new bag range which will launch this autumn. This is our satchel bag which will retail for £110 and is the on trend style for this season. It will be available in selected colours and we’ll keep you posted.

There’s a short film of the Unplugged Trend Area at Maison & Objet which you can see here. The commentary is in French but you can see our work covering a whole wall of the trend area.  

My friend Huw says....

that we haven’t updated this blog for months. He’s right of course but we’ve been so busy recently that I genuinely haven’t had a chance to write it all down. I’m going to have to make up for lost time.

So here goes…

Weaving Magic on the John Lewis website

Eifion and Amanda Griffiths in front of the millThe guys responsible for publishing information on the John Lewis Partnership corporate website (www.johnlewispartnership.co.uk) have published an article in the JLP e-zine section about Melin Tregwynt and we thought you might like to see it.

The title of the article is Weaving Magic and you’ll find it here

PG Tips Monkey loves our cushions

Just the thing for winter chills and weather (and I don’t mean the tea) Take a look at this ad and towards the end you’ll see a little bit of Melin Tregwynt on the sofa. Monkey obviously has good taste and it’s a great advert. Enjoy!

This autumn keep your eyes open for special events to mark The Campaign for Wool, an initiative championed by HRH The Prince of Wales aimed at promoting the natural and sustainable attributes of wool throughout the entire supply chain from textile buyers to end users. 

‘He got together all the interested parties, including people in fashion, clothes retailers, carpet manufacturers and representatives of the wool industry, and they agreed to work together to promote wool.’

Melin Tregwynt are working with John Lewis on a range of blankets/throws to coincide with the campaign which culminates in a special week, starting October 11^th 

John Lewis are showcasing our products in their Cardiff store on Saturday, September 11th

so if you want to meet us and have a chat we’ll be at the top of the escalator on the 2nd floor. There will also be a display of our blankets.

Also this Saturday come and meet an expert! Mockie Harrison, Manager of the home design studio at John Lewis, will be showing you how to transform a blank room using this year’s themes and styles.

If you’re in Cardiff come and see us in John Lewis or visit our own store nearby at 26 Royal Arcade where we have our full range of products.

There will be more special events to mark the Campaign and we’ll keep you updated.

PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR STORE AT 26 ROYAL ARCADE HAS NOW CLOSED

Cushions and throws on the box

Recently an American friend tweeted with an image from the last episode of REV with Tom Hollander where the Reverend is having a really bad time and is taking comfort from his God and a stack of our cushions.

This reminded me that he’s not the only TV character to turn to our products in their hour of need. On Wednesday (this evening) BBC3 are repeating the episode of Dr Who where the Doctor shows that he has the good taste and foresight to keep a selection of Melin Tregwynt throws on board the Tardis; ideal for an episode where the time travellers are threatened by a very cold star.

So the new Doctor and friends saved from a freezing death by the warmth and comfort of some Melin Tregwynt blankets. We now cover all time and space - even the Tardis has to have a throw or two - comes in handy in a cold snap.

I promise this is the last word on hotels for a while, but here are some more images of lovely rooms complete with throws from Melin Tregwynt.

The Crown’s bedrooms have been created by award-winning interior designers Bentheim, and have been transformed into a lazy bolthole, making a calm retreat from everyday stresses and the buzz of the bar and restaurant downstairs.

 

Ten very individual bedroomswith plump goose-down pillows, mattresses fit for royalty (they have the warrant to prove it), crisp cotton bedlinen and melin tregwynt blankets in charcoal grey and pinstripe.
