Crispina


Another find, this time via ApartmentTherapy:

Crispina is a company in Pittsfield, in western MA. Originally started in 1987 by Crispina ffrench (that's how their site spelled it) while she was a student at MassArt, the store had just one product, Ragamuffins, but it helped her graduate without any student loans. Since then, the company's line has grown to include blankets, rugs, pillows, and more. Being environmentally conscious from the start, all the products are made with recycled clothing - from old T-shirts to corduroys, denim jeans, and men’s dress shirts. I particularly like the Geo blanket, and the Potholder rug (above), which I couldn't find on their site, but is available from Romp in Brooklyn.
