Great gifts for Christmas!

It's that time of the year when I begin taking orders for MALVAR home
eco-friendly Christmas stockings!

Examples of some of the fabric combinations from 2009

MALVAR home eco-friendly stockings are one-off and sold only during the Christmas season. Each stocking is made from post-consumer wool remnants along with beautiful vintage fabric remnants from a men's tailor shop that closed down in Hollywood in the 1940's called "Stewart's." Each stocking is numbered and comes with a hangtag that describes its uniqueness.

MALVAR home stockings are made using traditional tailoring techniques with some hand-sewn details like blanket stitching and sometimes embroidery, while old buttons enhance the design.

This holiday, they come in three sizes: (size measurements are taken diagonally from the middle of the toe to the upper right corner of the top)

small - 11"

large - 14.5"

larger - 18" (new size for 2010)

This year the "Woof" and "Meow" designs are also available in the large size

Look for MALVAR home stockings at the following stores:

FOUND Gallery, Ann Arbor, MI @ http://www.foundgallery.com

Fox Ridge Gallery, Breckenridge, CO @ http://www.foxridgegallery.com

...and the "cherry on top": MALVAR home donates a portion of each stocking sale, after taxes, to local charitable organizations...

Thank you for your interest and for helping support this small effort in keeping remnants out of our landfills!
