Earlier this summer I went out to Qinghai to photograph some of the characters behind traditional Tibetan Rug craftsmanship. As you can imagine, spending time with one of China's most iconic Tibetan weavers was time well spent, easy laughs, and a real tangible love for craft.
I was photographing for .club a project by boutique design agency, spearheaded by the exhaustingly energetic and Evelyn who continue to inspire me with how driven they are (and frankly their ability to juggle so many cool projects, teach me your ways!)
They launched The Happy Few this summer with a stunning collection of hand made rugs, made to order, charmingly nostalgic and down to earth - my favourite is the pattern that reminds me of Chinese farmland from above. The trip to Qinghai was to explore a new addition to the line, featuring the beautifully rugged Tibetan style of rug making.
So, for Small Business Saturday today, I'm celebrating .club gorgeous, made to order rugs celebrating Chinese craftsmanship, modern design, and a masterclass on how to use a brand to tell stories, and build community.
