Tea towels by local label The Tiny Fig
The Tiny Fig, a web-based store, started as a way for the owner to keep busy while not in university. And keep busy she did: she designs and creates every piece herself. This pet project flourished into a sweet little business with too-cute collectibles for sale: tea towels emblazoned with mushrooms, green sprouts (pictured) or elephants, cartoon-looking earrings and colourful, fun tees.
