Hello nerds! I couldn't be more excited about these Scandinavian inspired ribbons.
After all...what's not to love. The classic grey and red palette is stunning and timeless and if you were thinking of gorgeous ways to style your Christmas this year (believe me when I say we'll be in November before you know it) - here's your inspiration.
Anyone who knows me will know that I'm OBSESSED with wrapping presents but literally HATE the waste that goes with it. Ta-daaaa... Brown paper (recyclable) and (even better), cloth gift bags that can be reused for gifts or as travel bags finished with beautiful ribbon is the way to go. Find a local NPO (in Cape Town you could approach The Sewing Cafe) and get them to whip up some burlap or linen gift bags that can be used and reused.) Your Scandi ribbon can be reused for gifts or can be upcycled into napkin rings, tree decorations etc.

If this freezing Cape Town weather has you looking for what the Swede's call "mysig" and the danes call "hygge", feast your eyes below and get in the mood. Tie up some plain linen napkins with Scandi ribbons and voila! You have mysig down.
