Just a quick post to treat you all to some snaps of the starry night performance of ‘Stories Before Bedtime’ at the Criterion Theatre. Our Feather & Black bed was styled to look rough and rugged to fit in with the dark vintage set. The accompanying cast of Russell Tovey & Sarah Solemani (Him & Her), Niamh Cusack (Beatrix Potter) and Tom Hiddleston (Warhorse) were such beauties and their storytelling was simply mesmerising.
We, in the Feather & Black Office, are literally swooning at Tom Hiddleston looking dishevelled - and to see him photographed this weekend at London Fashion Week on the front row of Mulberry’s AW12 Catwalk makes him even more desirable….
I love a man who shares my love of Mulberry!
Enjoy the pics…
Love

We are SO excited here at Feather & Black to unveil our new Limited Edition Collection. A collection created to avoid an endless, exhausting search through markets and antique fairs. We have done all the hard work (and the shopping) and sourced individual one off pieces for you to create your own unique lifestyle look. Based on French Heritage and Vintage British style, our pieces are created with time honoured artisanship and are unequivocally beautiful.
We have gone back to vintage roots, looking to the past for inspiration to accessories our Loire and Sienna Collection. Be inspired and fall in love with our unique treasured collection just like we have…
Choose from our French Butlers Tray for the ultimate luxurious breakfast in bed. Fall in Love with our Sienna Writing Desk perfect for composing a love letter - think Carrie & Big and that Great Love for our time. Or my favourite piece is the Henrietta chair - it epitomises sophistication and is so stylish it wouldn’t look out of place in a vintage Parisian jazz club.
Our Limited Edition Collection is a nostalgic nod towards an era of elegance and a fabulous silhouette of vintage style. It is available in 13 of our Feather & Black stores including:
Fulham, Oxford, Chichester, Henley, Cheltenham, East Sheen, Kingston, Sunningdale, Wilmslow, Tottenham Court Road, Beaconsfield, Guildford and Bath.
These pieces are Limited Edition and once they are gone they may be gone forever….
Love
Holly

We are so ‘bouncing on the bed’ happy here at Feather & Black - we have just received the news that we have been shortlisted for the Paypal Etail Awards 2012 in the category of…
BEST MULTICHANNEL RETAILER OF THE YEAR
What does this mean, I hear you ask? Well…we have been shortlisted for this category because of our mixture of combining our wonderful website with our sleep loving stores to create fantastic shopping options for you. You can even shop with us on your mobile phone which is perfect to fit in with your incredibly busy lifestyle!
The judging panel looks super tough this year and includes Sarah Curran, founder of mywardrobe.com, an inspirational entrepreneur and leader in fashion…a girl after my own heart. And Scott Weaver, founder of kiddicare, Robin Terrell director of House of Fraser and the hugely successful Hash Ladha. EEK!
Nerves aside we are counting down until the 24th May when we find out the result, I’m already choosing my fabulous ‘Oscar’ worthy dress for the event…and scheduling in some beauty sleep the night before.
We have a few months to work on our gracious face if we don’t win or a more exciting acceptance speech… “We would like to thank all our customers who love a luxurious night sleep…” good start?
We are just really excited to have got this far and be shortlisted, it is already a fantastic achievement.
Fingers crossed…
Love
Holly
