Sage and Clare: Whimsical Wonders for Your Home

And hello again, Ruby's Home Store readers. Today, I’m exploring one of the delightful Aussie brands I’m so proud to stock - Sage and Clare. Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting Phoebe again, the creative force behind Sage and Clare, at a trade fair in Melbourne. Our conversation reinforced why this brand has become such a respected name in homewares. Their commitment to creating beautiful, soulful pieces is truly admirable. Without further ado, let me introduce you to some Sage and Clare gems that are guaranteed to add a splash of joy to your home....

Sage and Clare Highlight #1: The Nudie Rudie Bath Mat

The Sage and Clare Nudie Rudie Bath Mat has always been one of our most popular products, and for good reason. This playful bath mat adds a dose of humour to your morning routine, making even the groggiest of wake-ups a bit more bearable. The star of the show is undoubtedly the cheeky 'Nudie Rudie' text that adorns each mat. It's a daily reminder to embrace a bit of fun, even in the most mundane moments. Whether you're stepping out of the shower or just popping in to brush your teeth, this mat is sure to bring a smile to your face. Crafted from 100% cotton, the Nudie Rudie Bath Mat offers both comfort and practicality. The soft, tufted surface is gentle on your feet, providing a cosy landing spot as you exit the bath or shower. Despite its playful appearance, this mat doesn't skimp on functionality - it's highly absorbent, helping to keep your bathroom floor dry and safe.

Price: $79 (approximately £40)

Sage and Clare Highlight #2: Crochet Placemats

For those looking to add a touch of whimsy to their table settings, the Sage and Clare Crochet Placemats  are an excellent choice. These placemats come in a variety of styles and colours, each showcasing some delightfully playful design. What sets them apart is their expert handcrafting, giving each piece a unique, heirloom quality that Sage and Clare is known for. Made from pure cotton, they're not only attractive but also practical - easy to clean and soft to the touch. For those who appreciate coordinated table settings, matching coasters are also available. (And just quietly, there might well be a tablecloth floating around  to provide the perfect backdrop!)

Price: $99.95 (approximately £50) for a set of four

Sage and Clare Highlight #3: Napkin Sets

Body: And to complete the dining table aesthetic, why not opt for Sage and Clare's napkin sets? These napkins offer a perfect opportunity to either match, complement, or playfully clash with your existing table linens, adding a touch of design flair to any setting. What sets these napkins apart is their vibrant combination of prints and colours. Each set includes four linen napkins, allowing you to create a coordinated look or mix and match for a more eclectic style. The napkins are complemented by either straight or scalloped edges, adding a refined touch to their playful designs. Available in various collections including Bernada, Marin, Napa, and Berkley, these napkins offer plenty of options to suit different tastes and table settings. Whether you're hosting a casual brunch or a formal dinner party, these napkins can adapt to any occasion, making everyday meals a little more special.

Price: $69 (approximately £35) for a set of four

Sage and Clare Highlight #4: Pillowcase Sets

Lastly, let's discuss the Sage and Clare Pillowcase Sets. These European Flax linen pillowcases offer a luxurious touch to any bedroom. Available in a range of designs (including Camarillo, Benita, Solana, and Fresno), these pillowcases are both stylish and practical. One of my favourite features is the clever back seam that keeps pillow inserts neatly tucked away, ensuring a tidy appearance. At a standard size of 73 x 50cm, they're designed to fit most pillows perfectly. Sold in sets of two, these pillowcases offer an easy way to refresh your bedroom's look. For those who enjoy experimenting with decor, mixing and matching designs can create an interesting, personalised aesthetic.
