NYIGF SNEAK PREVIEW WITH BURROW AND HIVE TEXTILES

With the gift show just around the corner, I am starting get excited about all the new companies that will be making their debuts. The show provides a much larger stage for a new brand, and gives them the opportunity to attract a nationwide retail presence, a global e-commerce presence, and a wider visibility that will hopefully kickstart their company.
Burrow and Hive, started by creative sister act  Newell Freivogel and Sally Gates is one such company. Both attended my alma mater, Trinity College and we were all art history majors. When they reached out to me with this news, I was thrilled- this is the best part of being a blogger. I get to write about cool gals like this. The Chicago-based sisters combined their unique architecture and textile backgrounds to create a fresh textile collection that draws from nature. Produced in New England, their designs are available as pillows and by the yard. They also have wool or cotton scarves, the accessory du jour, as well as little pouches, placemats and bedding.  Their color palette is vivid, with grass green and tomato, mint and royal blue. Their abstracted designs mix well with florals and stripes, adding a nice geometric touch. They have been making the trunk show rounds and have a growing retail presence. Making their big debut at the New York Gift Show in a few weeks, you can visit with them at Pier 94 at Booth 45058.  Tell them Stylebeat sent you!
