TBCo X Abisola Omole collaboration
TBCo collaborated with Abisola Omole on the Everyday Collection, a limited-edition range of throws and scarves. The collection celebrates the interplay of opposing forces of energy and peace. With rich, Rothko-inspired reds and Matisse-inspired florals, the collection invites you to find solstice and beauty in the moment.
“Each year, we collaborate with a tastemaker to create a limited-edition product or collection. We love using these partnerships to merge TBCo’s textile expertise and high-quality craftsmanship with a fresh creative voice from the fashion or homeware industry. Often, these collaborators haven’t yet explored textiles as a medium, which makes the process even more exciting.”
TBCo went on:
“We chose Abisola Omole for this project because of her impeccable style. Not only does she dress beautifully, but her home is also a testament to her design prowess. As a creative director, Abi has a strategic, big-picture perspective, making her wonderfully decisive with a clear aesthetic vision. She is articulate and able to translate her concepts into stunning designs. Working with her was an absolute joy.”
Abisola Omole said:
“When people receive their TBCo by Abisola piece I want them to feel, inspired. I want them to feel hopefully happy, but also just like it’s something that they can keep forever.”
