Stunning Stocking Art Box (Limited Edition)

For this special seasonal box, we have turned for inspiration to the folk-art traditions that have become a major influence on our Christmas accessories – first of all on that central feature, the tree, then on its decorations, on the candles, the stockings and, indeed, on the story of Santa Claus himself. We have even looked beyond the Christian world and adapted other peoples’ decorative motifs to our Christmas accessories.
Folk art everywhere tends to have a love of bright colours and distinctive patterns. It also favours a more “naive” simple form of art, being rooted in communities and the work of local artisans.

In this box we look at the Central Asia art of Suzani to inspire us to paint a beautiful stocking; we look at the folk art of Scandinavia to decorate some colourful paper tree decorations; we explore Mexican Papel Picado to create some lovely garlands; and finally we discover paint washes to make some stunning gift tags!
