Carol Mills has a long history in the field of Interior Décor and fabrics, going back to the time when she owned a retail décor outlet. During the course of the last decade or so, she has been part of one of SA’s well known retail décor outlets.
As one thing always leads to another, it was not too long before she had taken the leap in having her very own range of toile fabrics designed and produced locally.
Why not pop over to her website to view the fabrics and…. Watch this space, as she will be launching other products/fabrics that she distributes onto her website in the New Year.
And, I may add that it was at a time when the trend towards more locally designed fabrics was not quite as fashionable as it is today. Being passionate about the tales that revolve around our local cultures (including viticulture), our history, all our indigenous fauna & flora as well as our connections to the sea, turned out to be the base from which Carol drew her inspirational toile designs. The Range is called “Fabric Du Sud” or in our every day not so French language – Fabrics of the South. This range has steadily grown to include Fabric De Sud 1, 2 and 3.
In more recent years, Carol decided to mix into the fold a range of products made from her toile fabrics. And wait for it…. The name of this range is very sexy – HOT CAKES. Products such as super durable trays, aprons and bistro aprons (called Hot Buns mind you), oven mitts, toiletry & make up bags.
To celebrate her launching her fabrics and products onto the Social Media stage, Carol is sponsoring a GIVE AWAY. The HOT CAKES goodies to be had are – 1st PRIZE: a tray, an apron and a pair of oven mitts. AND because it is the season of goodwill, she is throwing in a second prize as well – a toiletry & make-up bag.
