Just as planning for the Holiday Capsule Collection started, we were approached by independent food and culture publication Seasonings to be part of a festive bundle they were putting together. They had seen us mention having fabric offcuts and leftovers and were interested to see if we might like to make use of them to make fabric cloth wraps for the bundles.  Of course we jumped on board.  Each edition of Seasonings is not merely exploration into food, but also the culture and diversity it continuously shapes.

An individual with a fiery thirst for knowledge and a writer by trade, Nafeesa (@nafingtonpost) is a storyteller that finds joy in learning, personal growth and connecting people by conveying stories through an emotional lens (We've included a link to one of our favourite articles from her at the end of this post). With an interest in the luxe, hiking and and celebrating local and regional small businesses and culture, Nafeesa shows us that interests that seem disparate can very much co-exist, and in fact make your life so much richer.  It can be quite easy to get caught up in the...
