Giveaway: New Kip and Co kids bedding - Dappled Dreams
The fabulous trio of Hayley, Kate and Alex from Kip & Co. have killed it yet again with their Spring Summer 2013 bedding collection for adults and kids. Dappled Dreams is all bats, pretzels and match sticks mix-and-match in peach, gold, rust, pinky-purple and inky blues. It's a clash of colour that somehow works in only the way that the clever Kip & Co. team can dream up. Let's take a look...
No-one makes bats look cooler:
Love the layered bed - so very Princess And The Pea. And now I need to find a huge disco ball. Oh and I spot a pretty Tutu du Monde tutu too!
I'm dreaming of a ski cabin that looks exactly like this:
The gorgeous Croc design (that has inspired dozens of imitations) is back in a pastel colourway and is sure to go bananas.
Oh, and did I mention that there is a giveaway? If you would like your very own single quilt cover and pillow set in the fabulous purple pretzel design, make sure you are a Bondville monthly newsletter subscriber, and note your favourite piece from the collection, as well as leave your name and contact details in the comment section below. Entries close midnight 31st August 2013. Deliveries to Australian addresses only.
I asked Kate from Kip & Co. a few probing questions about the current collection:
Kate - it's all pretty fabulous. Was Dappled Dreams inspired by any one thing?
We started the brainstorming process by talking about what Summers had meant to each of us. Hayley and I (being sisters) had experienced pretty similar summers growing up and while memories had varied, the sentiment and locations had usually been the same. And while we didn't know Alex yet, her family had lived very close (Merricks) to where we spent Summer breaks (Somers) so she too contributed a very similar Summer memory. It was quite amazing actually how our ideas just merged together like we had been together all those years back. 80's beach vibes, seaweedy sand, salty air, summer friends, great food... it was all in the mix for each of us.
Do you all design every piece, or do each of you add an idea to the melting pot?
Every piece is worked on by each of us and is a true collaboration of each persons ideas... from print, style to colour.
All the pieces seem to mix-and-match so well, but do you have any suggestions for combinations that work best together?
Our lookbook is probably the best reference for this as we have compiled every combination that you see. But to name a few I'd suggest the Obus and Peach Spots or Matchstick Peach, the Croc Pastel and Chambray and the Matchstick Black with the Spots Tan for those looking for something less bright and maybe a touch more masculine. I've gotta say though, the Chambray will go with everything!! And as for the kids, the pretzels are knockout. We are beyond excited about how they have turned out. Pair them with the spots sheet - beautiful.
I love that the Bats design works so well with licensed Batman products. Please tell me that you're working on a design to work with Dora...
Probably won't happen just yet, but we know we'd have a strong customer base in Hayley's kids - that's for sure. They are Dora mad!
You can find Kip & Co. bedding in the online store as well as stockists around Australia, NZ and online.

Hi Steph! I have just discovered Kip & Co recently via the Melbourne Design Market on Pinterest. Oh, aren't the designs delightful? Most bedding is so boring - maybe that's the point, it puts you to sleep... Yawn! But my eyes were so refreshed seeing the Kip & Co quilt covers. I want to party all night long with the *Pastel Croc* set, it reminds me of a summer carnival and sorbet by the beach. So happy! x
ReplyDeleteHaving lived in Germany about 20 years ago and still reminiscing about fresh, hot pretzels how could I go past the Pretzel design! YUM!

ReplyDeleteThe child in me absolutely loves the cartoon style Pretzel design (in purple). It makes me wanna droll like Homer Simpson "Mmmm, pretzels, uuuggzzhhh...".
ReplyDeleteIt is whimisical and fun and delicious :)
Im lovin the pretzel design for sure.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the black and white matchstick design! Also how devine does it look with the tan spot sheets! That combo reminds me somehow of chocolate, licorice and jaffas all jumbled together......I mean really you can't get a tastier bed than that!

I love the bat design!! I have two boys I would definately get one for both!
ReplyDeleteWe love the Pretzel design..so bright, unique and beautiful. The only worry I have is that every time I tuck my daughter in a night I'm going to have a craving for pretzels...and we know how addictive they can be. I can never stop at one..can you?? Does this mean I'm going to get addicted to Kip and Co linen? (oh well..I think i'm already addicted!)

Everything Kip & Co. just screams "fun!". So hard to pick a fave but I think pretzels will give anyone sweet and salty yummy dreams x
ReplyDeletepink_nightingale@hotmail.com
Beautiful collection. I just love the matchsticks in peach and the pastel croc. But it's all gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe pastel croc is gorgeous, but my favourite for my daughter's room would have to be the pretzel!
ReplyDeleteWhat would help smooth the transition for my little three year old having to share her room with her new baby sister soon more than pretzel bedding! wahoo! Scrumptious to look at and would brighten up her room and help chase away those nightmares. I may possibly be caught chewing the bedding during some 4am feeds though, they do look that delicious!
ReplyDeletestephhurd@hotmail.com

Absolutely love them all! I would pick the Matchstick for me but can't go past the Bat print for my son - he would love it and even has bat-print PJs that would match :) Too cute for words.

Kip & Co designs are 'out of the box', original, and just plain fun! My favourite has to be the Pretzel. Takes me back to family movie nights in the 80's - bowls of fantails, jaffas, rainbow popcorn, and pretzels. Pretzels are a school lunchbox treat in our home now and then, and I am known to sneak a pack to take to work too....
ReplyDeleteYeti's love confetti, but the cats prefer the bats! Ok, that's ridiculously silly -- I love love love the Confetti for me and Calvin digs the bats. So awesome the super-bedding has no super-branding!
ReplyDeleteWhite pretzel looks good enough to eat. Nom nom nom
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE the gorgeous Croc design. Funky, chic, out-there, grabbing and yet fun for all ages. Please spoil this super big kid.

I can't go past the gorgeous Croc Pastel quilt cover, the combination of colours would work it's magic in my bedroom giving me sweet dreams as I relive my summer childhood holiday memories of playing at the gorgeous beach on yellow sand, the blue sky and still water, the splashes of colourful swimming towels and swimmers mix matching together to create a gorgeous unique masterpiece.

For my little boy who is full of adventure and fun,
ReplyDeleteadding the 'Bat's' design in the room would make it a rockin' one.
Sleep time in the bat cave would be great on these sheets,
and having dreams of super heroes would be rather neat!

There was a wee boy named Axel,
ReplyDeleteWho dreamed of sleeping on pretzels
He fell off the bed and hurt his bum
And woke all all covered in crumbs!
(p.s Adore "Check Aqua")
We're going batty over here for the bat design
