INTERVIEW: Getting to Know... Oggettismarritishop!

 (versione in italiano)

1)What's the name of your business, what do create and sell?

 We are Franca and Verdiana, mother and daughter who run Oggetti Smarriti –made in Toscana-. You can find us on Etsy as oggettismarritishop where we sell our scarves, gloves, hats, chairs, brooches and…whatever comes to our minds!

2)What are your inspirations in your art and life?

We get inspiration from everything around us: friends, movies, fashion but mainly from the memories that some particular material or print bring back to us, we like to create things that can convey a “warm” and familiar feeling to the people who own them.

3)Do you listen to music while you create? If so, what?

Good pop music always put us in a good mood but we like also to…enjoy the silence. 

4)What is your studio or work space like?

Messy, very very messy. Basically because we don’t have a real studio yet, we keep the materials in big boxes in all of the house and we use our kitchen table to put all the things together! (while our two cats play around…)

 

5)What 3 things can't you  live without?

Family, good food, inspiration.

 

6)What is the best creative advice you have been given?

Never give up!

 

7)What's new? Any products or projects you'd like to share?

We’re trying to improve our Facebook page and stay in touch with our fans (oh, but we really miss paper letters and dial telephones!) and we’re working on some new bags for spring and summer!
