New at BON TON goods: Coral & Tusk Cushions & Cards
Storybook animals and embroidered detail, Coral & Tusk brings tenderness and wonder to every stitch.
Founded in 2007 by designer Stephanie Housley, Coral & Tusk turns hand-drawn sketches into richly embroidered textiles. The result is a collection of cushions and keepsake cards that feel both playful and refined, pieces that add warmth, texture, and character to a room in the most effortless way.
A season of stitch: fall into winter (without going full holiday)
Our newest arrivals lean into crisp-air adventures, cozy layers, and little moments of magic. Think skiing foxes and rabbits pausing among aspens, a Shih Tzu bounding through snow, and woodland friends who make winter feel welcoming rather than wintry. You’ll also find designs that quietly echo the season, blackbirds with jewel-toned feathers, butterflies and mushrooms as autumn turns, and seaside treasures for those who dream of the coast year-round.
Cats & dogs, forever muses
It’s “blooming cats and dogs”: best pet friends strolling through morning glories and sunflowers; a tuxedo cat cameo tucked in spring greens; a delightfully spooky black cat with bright gold eyes for your Halloween vignette. These are the pieces that invite a smile now and become little family legends over time.
Flora, fauna, and a garden of threads
From Small Garden to Secret Garden, Coral & Tusk’s florals go beyond “pretty” into “poetic.” Every bloom and sprig is drawn first, then translated into intricate embroidery, the kind that reads beautifully from across the room and rewards a closer look. Pair a botanical cushion with a creature motif for a layered story on sofa or bed.
Keepsake cards to frame (or send, if you can bear to part with them)
Coral & Tusk’s embroidered cards are designed to be mailed to someone special, and to live on as art. A sparkling serpent in silver, gold, and rose-gold threads; cats and dogs in a flowered garden; a festive donkey dressed with tassels. Each card fits a standard frame, which makes them an easy, meaningful gift.
P.S. Christmas pieces are online and in shop now, but we’ll save a full holiday roundup for another post. If you’re already in a decking mood, peek at the Winter Birds, Picking the Tree, and the Christmas Donkey, they shimmer with subtle metallic threads and Coral & Tusk charm.
Why we love them (and why you’ll want to move quickly)
Exquisite workmanship: hand-drawn art translated into dense, nuanced embroidery.
Whimsy with polish: playful scenes rendered with grown-up restraint.
Limited quantities: we have only a small number of each cushion and card this season.
Find the new Coral & Tusk collection online and in our Malmö shop. If a piece speaks to you, don’t wait, these are the treasures that tend to disappear and become the ones you remember.
