The Ken towel range from Safari Living - bold multi-coloured with black and white stripe reverse and soft woven banding. The bath mat (top) is a super thick pure cotton - made in Italy.
So you ALL KNOW how much I love Safari Living... Melbourne's gorgeous little corner store design Mecca in High st, Prahran East? It is truly the most delectable, perfectly edited range of local and internationally sourced homewares and textiles under one roof... well worth a trip over the river if you're a Northsider like me! (I posted some pics of the store back here...) BUT if you aren't close by, don't forget that you can now SHOP ONLINE with Safari Living!
Yessirree. The internet just got way more interesting - and dangerous! :)
Do pop over and check out the online store, and show your support for this brilliant local retailer! Safari's owner Felicity is just the loveliest lady and has been so supportive of The Design Files since we met last year... and today I am very pleased to welcome Safari Living as my newest site sponsor!
You might remember that Felicity was generous enough to offer one of her gorgeous Missoni Towels for my Christmas giveaway... and guess what... TODAY she's offering a stunning Missoni 'Ken' Bath Mat (60 x 90cm), and 2 x matching hand towels (40 x 70cm) for one lucky reader!
Oh my! Are they not the most beautiful, lush bathroom towels you have ever SEEN?!
Please leave a comment here before midnight tonight (Tuesday) to be in the running. The winner will be selected at random and will be announced here tomorrow!
Huge thanks to all the lovely ladies at Safari (Felicity, Belinda, Natalie!) for this wonderful prize! Such loveliness. x
Please note the competition how now closed! Thanks so much for all your entries and stay tuned tomorrow for the winner announcement!

ReplyDeleteOh my, I luuuuv Missoni!! Please pick me, pick me! D*

ReplyDeleteCute :)
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the draw.
Great to hear about south side creative businesses for us that live over this way! Cheers, Shelley Panton

ReplyDeleteThe missoni colour range is my favourite - our bathmat is so boring and worn, a new one would make an absolute world of difference!

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, love Missoni. We need a Safari north of the river!
ReplyDeleteAh Safari, my favorite shop in the whole wide world and for years a good neighbor (living a few doors down was a bit expensive). Glad to hear there is finally an online retail space. As a few comments here have already sujested, Missoni hand towels make the BEST wedding gifts. YAY!

Count me in! Would never miss a Missoni giveaway. YUM
ReplyDeleteGosh, are you kidding? I would love a bit of Missoni in my life!
ReplyDeleteI spent yesterday redying the black Missoni bathmat that my mum spilt bleach on last week in a cleaning disaster. I think considering the bathmat has had such a tough week it would really appreciate some new friends, particularly ones as attractive as Ken. Not that the bathmat is shallow but it does tend to like to stick to hanging around with textiles of a similar background. They compliment each other!
ReplyDeleteMee too mee too!!!! WE lilkey!
ReplyDeletelove missoni - and have added safari living to my list of 'when next in melbourne...' ideas.
ReplyDeleteIt is very dangerous news to hear Safari Living is available online... love the extensive collection - gorgeous, thank you!
ReplyDeleteOooh I would love to win these! Pick me :-D
ReplyDeleteMy little girl Claudia turns two today and would love a new bathmat and hand towels. She chucked the last bathmat into the toilet bowl and tried to flush it away.
ReplyDeleteToo beautiful! I would really love to start the day using these;)
ReplyDeleteOkay Lucy here's the deal. I just sold my house. Which means I need to buy a new one. Which means I need to FURNISH a new one. Which means I am happy to base the entirety of said furnishing around the gorgeous Missoni stripe!
ReplyDeleteAnd hereby solemnly swear to send you the photos. Haha.

ReplyDeletemy new apartment bathroom so needs these...
ReplyDeleteI love Missoni...and what I love even more is competitions to win Missoni goodies!!! I missed the Nov 3 write up on Safari living so I am glad I read this post!! What a cute on-line shop!!
ReplyDeleteThese would match my stripey shower curtain. I would definately like more stripes to funky up the bathroom!
ReplyDeleteLovely article in the Melbourne Times
btw
xLiz
these Missoni goodies would go so fabulously with my newly renovated - yet sadly bare - bathroom!
ReplyDeleteme please,me!!!! : )
ReplyDeleteoh I love SAFARI LIVING...
ReplyDeleteI like to go and visit the shop often.. the only thing is im a uni student (studying interior decoration and design) so i cannot afford any of the fabulous products. it is very tempting to spend all of next months rent in there tho.
i think the missoni products would really liven up my dull bathroom. SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE choose me.
ps. your blog brings a smile to my face everyday. keep up the inspiring work.
sarah
Driving past Safari is always a visual treat even if I don't have time to stop I have time to look from the outside.
ReplyDeleteThe Missoni towels often displayed in the side windows are my favourite items in the shop. So many beautiful colours and patterns and designs. Love them.
A few years ago Felicity donated some towels to my kids primary school fundraiser, but I was outbid the Silent Auction. Damn!
Oh dear, my little housie is in DESPERATE need of some fabulous Missoni eye candy in the bathroom. It's the only thing that could possibly draw the eye away from those horrid 70's mosaics and faux timber cabinetry. I have my fingers and toes all crossed!
ReplyDeleteWonderful prize. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking how on my way home I need to swing by to but one of those large light bulb lamps for my bedroom. I LOVE Safari Living! Please pick me! I need new towles!
ReplyDeletexxx elle
What a beautiful collection. The throws look fabulous as well. Will certainly be visiting next time I'm in Melb. Anne
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE, LOVE, LOVE anything Missoni. Am on the hunt for some of their fabric at the moment. The bathmat and towels would certainly glam up our bathroom. Thanks to you and the girls at Safari for the opportunity to win a set. Cheers x
ReplyDeleteI am addicted to reading The Design Files for the inspiration it provides and the lovely giveways.
ReplyDeleteThey are absolutely gorgeous!
Love it! How generous - please count me in!!
ReplyDeleteget me one of those table lights - whoever thought a simple light globe could look so good?! Good luck Safari Living with your online endeavours. I live for such shopping from my desktop once the kidlets are asleep. S x
ReplyDeleteMe me me! Forever a dream, not QUITE in line with my budget!
ReplyDeletemissoni towels are the best- fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteOMG there are a lot of comments but I am feeling VERY lucky today :)
ReplyDeleteOooh the colours - utter happiness in towel form!
ReplyDeleteAhh if only I'd discovered their gift registry service before now. With our wedding coming up in 3 weeks and setting-up-house to ensue shortly after, we could sure use such delightful goodies to make magnifique our little love shack.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to be number 144. But would be even happier to win a hand towel or two...?
ReplyDeleteLove your work! Yes, please. Would love a Missoni pep-me-up courtesy of you and Safari!

My husband is an architect but that the closest I have been to designed furniture for a while. We are looking to buy our first home and I wouldn't mind some Missoni to add a bit of value! :)
ReplyDeletePerfect. And given that the average mother of 2 small children spends about a million hours each year washing and drying hands, they'd provide many hours of enjoyment!
