Jacobs & Dalton

Delighted to welcome our latest advertiser, Jacobs & Dalton, purveyors of a fabulous selection of sheepskin products.

Benjamin Franklin, founding father of the United States stated that there are two certainties in life: death & taxes, I would like to add to that, in this period of extreme uncertainty, that sheepskins can add a true touch of cosiness to any interior and that I will be certainly popping a few around the place when we move in to our next home.

Sheepskins are a by-product of the meat industry, which would otherwise go to waste. They can then be turned into long-lasting, luxury products for you to enjoy for many years. I love these duck egg blue slippers -

Sheepskins are naturally hypoallergenic; they are kind to skin and extremely cosy. Perfect for use in babies’ cribs and prams. They help to regulate body temperature keeping us cool when it’s hot and warm when it's cold, better than man-made fibres. They also make great pet beds for the same reason.

These gorgeous cushions are made using genuine Tibetan sheepskin, unrivalled in their quality and are a great accessory for any home, traditional or contemporary. The natural shaggy nature of this type of sheep’s wool is appealing for its warmth and rugged beauty, with many falling in love with its elegant, silky curls.

I honestly think that this indigo, dyed, rug would make a stunning contrast in a bold colour scheme.

I will try pairing it with our burnt orange Togo modular sofas...
