FLUF
Canadians Nathalie Butterfield and Terra Kushner, designed FLUF in the summer of 2005. They started with pillows, which eventually led to purses, storage bins, floaters, and more. At the time it was near impossible for them to find fabrics that were manufactured using sustainable materials and practices, so they created their own! Their entire fabric line is “hand-printed locally in small runs on chemical-free hemp and organic cotton, using water-based, biodegradable dyes”.
Their Tomato Blizzard pillow is a standout from their line. This pillow is not only fabulously designed, but also filled with 95% feather and 5% down making it exceptionally soft. I love laying my head on these pillows after a long day with the kiddo. However, I try to avoid over using it because it sits so beautifully as a décor on my bed. They make a great decoration and add a great accent for our bedroom. I look forward to investing in more of them in the near future.
Storage bins have become an important commodity in my home. Since having a child, I’ve collected slews of toys and crafts. I desperately needed a sleek modern and durable one to hold a few playthings in my living room. FLUF makes the BEST felt storage bins for that particular need. Their storage bins are 1/4” Thick technical felt, made from 75% recycled wool and 25% other recycled materials. They are also lined with black vinyl, which makes for easy cleaning. The other day I was organizing my son’s toys and had to empty out the bin. I discovered particles of food my son had tossed in. The vinyl allowed me to use a wet rag to clean without difficulty. I am truly thankful for these remarkable eco-friendly bins!
FLUF fabric moves beyond pillows into very chic totes. Their Misha bag happens to be my favorite. It echoes a bit with the design of the blizzard pillows. I love the simple yet edgy fabric. The tote is spacious enough to use as a diaper bag. I carry, at one time, umbrellas, diapers, reusable bags, wallet, water bottles, books, and more in this tote. It’s made with 55% hemp and 45% organic cotton. I switched my designer bag days for this fashionable earth friendly tote. Fluf design is on my top ten favorite companies and I encourage you to check them out!
