Midcentury Trees Sewn Garland

This is a preorder item and is due for disptach in late September. Please note, orders containing preorder items will be shipped together.

Inspired by the bold decorative Christmas trees of the past, this three-metre sewn garland brings colour and pattern to festive decorating.

A collection of individually shaped trees is screen printed by hand on both sides, each with its own intricate pattern in shades of green, pink and yellow. Made from recycled paper and sewn together to create a lightweight garland, it can be hung across a mantel, doorway, wall or gathering table.

Unlike decorations designed for a single celebration, the garland can be carefully packed away at the end of Christmas and brought out again year after year.

Why we chose this

We love Christmas decorations that become familiar parts of the season - the pieces you unpack each year and remember exactly where they usually go.

The mix of colour and pattern makes this feel playful without becoming novelty Christmas decor, while the handmade printing gives each tree the character of something made rather than mass-produced.

Most importantly, it is designed to be kept. For us, that makes a beautiful paper decoration far more worthwhile than something intended for one Christmas.
