Style Sisters Charlotte Reddington and Gemma Lily, best known for styling celebrity and high-end homes, were among the celebrities attending the first day of Brand Licensing Europe, (Tuesday 24 September), held at London’s ExCeL.
They were there to talk about their first homeware collection following an agreement between Lisle Licensing and Tesco which has been rolled out to 222 selected stores across the UK.
The partnership with Tesco marks their most ambitious project to date, with Charlotte and Gemma – experts in creating calm, clutter-free spaces – personally designing and curating the range, which has been inspired by their own style, with their signature monochrome at its heart.
Products fall under three sectors – home accessories; home fragrance and storage – across 18 homeware items, with prices ranging from £5 to £25. Included in the range is an oversized candle and diffuser, both in ribbed glass vessels; minimalist ribbed photo frames; vases; cosy knitted cushions and throws; a trinket box; a console/coffee table, and a selection of big, practical, storage baskets.
“The idea with the accessories is that you can display them on a coffee table or slot them in around the home,” Charlotte told GiftsandHome.net. “The pieces are very stylish and can stand alone, making a statement. Alternatively, they can work collectively, or they can update a living space.”
Explained Gemma: “Because the collection is classic, it’s able to fit in with all decors and home design schemes, thanks to the timeless colour palette. It’s not niche to any one aesthetic. We are not trend-led and have always loved classic pieces. In fact, what we love hasn’t really changed since we started out. Monochrome makes such a huge statement, and never goes in or out of fashion, making it perfect for the home.”
Added Charlotte: “The pieces also make great gifts, as you can buy them for people and know that they will work in their homes.”
