Hey Sister!

Whether you live in a small apartment, or a large house, by introducing certain plants into your home, you will start to notice improvements to your health, and overall happiness. As well as enhancing your mood and creating a living space that is soothing to be in, plants can also help with loneliness and depression: caring for a living thing gives us a purpose and is rewarding — especially when you see that living thing bloom and thrive.

On average, people spend more time in bedrooms than in any other room. Even though most of that time is spent sleeping, our bedrooms are where we begin our day. They have a huge impact on whether we awake feeling energised and excited, or tired and grumpy.

Room colour can impact our moods and our thoughts and affect us in many ways, depending on age, gender, ethnic background, and climate. Certain colours or even groups of colours tend to receive a common reaction from most people, which is why it’s so important to choose colours wisely when it comes to decorating. Colour has the power to change the shape and size of furnishings, as well as the shape and size of the room itself. Colour trends come and go, but you don’t have to worry about trends to have a beautiful home.

Kantha is a centuries-old tradition of stitching patchwork cloth from rags, which evolved from the thrift of rural women in the Bengali region of the sub-continent - today the eastern Indian states of West Bengal and Orissa, and Bangladesh. One of the oldest forms of embroidery originating from India, its origins can be traced back to the pre-Vedic age (prior to 1500 BCE).

With roots that lie in Africa and South Asia, we have first-hand witnessed the struggle crafts(wo)men encounter to survive and wanted to do something about it. Know that each piece we have at Spindle by Sisters has been made following a criterion that keeps people at the forefront followed very closely by the planet. We do not compromise on the wellbeing of the makers and ensure that they are all paid fair wages and where possible an above living wage for the work that they do.  All items we co-create are natural and sustainable, kind to you and our planet.

When you hear the word ‘sister’ you automatically think unconditional love, respect and loyalty….but the beginning is quite the contrary for many. Our story is exactly that, sisters 1, 2 and 3.
