About Our Products

Who creates the artwork?

Every design starts as an original watercolor painting by Michigan artist Alla Dickson. We scan each painting at high resolution and print it onto our home goods, so you get real brushwork, not AI or stock art. Read more in Our Story.

Where are you located?

Our studio is in Zeeland, Michigan. You can also find our products at shops around West Michigan. See Where to Find Us.

Can I visit your studio?

Yes! Studio visits are by appointment. Come browse in person, see Alla's original paintings, or pick up an order. Schedule a studio visit.

Will the colors fade when I wash them?

No. Our products are made to be used and washed, and they keep their color.

Swedish Dishcloths

What is a Swedish dishcloth made of?

70% cellulose (a wood-derived material) and 30% cotton. They are reusable and compostable, a natural alternative to paper towels and sponges.

How do I care for my dishcloth?
  • After use, rinse and hang to dry.
  • Machine washable or top rack of the dishwasher. Air dry only.
  • To sanitize, microwave when damp or boil briefly.
How long does a dishcloth last?

About 4 to 6 months with regular use. When it is worn out, you can compost it in garden soil.
