Introducing Our Comfort Blanket
As a brand & business with a loyal and ever-growing community, we have felt a responsibility to reach out and help others during this difficult time. To help you during this time, we have created ‘Our Comfort Blanket’, a space for us to share features covering everything from music to books, meditation to nature, to art and wellbeing tips.
This is a space for us and you. We encourage you to reach out to us and tell us what you are doing to stay healthy and hopeful so that we can share with our wider Begg x Co community.
Join us this month as we practice Gentle January. Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing regular reminders on our Instagram to pause & reflect, slow down and be kind to ourselves. The ever-changing news can be overwhelming and we hope, just like with our physical blankets, that you feel the warmth from ‘Our Comfort Blanket’ too.
With love,
Begg x Co.

What we are reading
“Threads of Life is a book of stories, the stories of people across cultures and centuries who have used sewing to make their voices heard: documenting their history, declaring allegiance, asserting their identity and mourning their dead. From WW2 prisoners of war to Mary, Queen of Scots; from WWI disabled soldiers to peace campaigners the book explores the surprising, often moving, purpose of peoples’ needlework.” - Clare Hunter, Author.
For Book Club this month, we spoke with author Clare Hunter about the release of her book, what inspires her, Mary Queen of Scots, and of course, how accessories feature in her wardrobe.

Artist's Corner
Recently, one of our friends sent us a wonderful piece of art that she found inspiring during this time, and we loved the idea of using art as a form of escapism. So we decided to create a space dedicated to art. Here we will share some downloadable prints of our designs that you can colour at home, as well as sharing some Q&A's with some of the industry's finest Artists.
