New BonBonKakku is CafePress for Design Fabrics
Good news to all fabric lovers: Vallila Interior has just launched a CafePress of design fabrics, BonBonKakku (kakku = cake in Finnish). You can submit your own design or vote for ("score") designs by other people. The site is by the coolest agency in Helsinki Kokoro&Moi.
I just submitted my first design, and I'm looking forward to seeing the quality of their prints. The example fabrics suggest they have the capacity to make large colorful ones. But how will they compare with the everlasting quality of classics like Marimekko?
The minimum order is 3 x 1m (á 25e/m) plus tax, so printing all your great designs at once might get a bit dear. Nevertheless, beware friends and relatives: next christmas you'll get lots of soft presents!
