i was thrilled to hear from designer yaling hou yesterday. yaling recently (only a week ago!) launched her debut textile and product design companie flowie from her studio in menlo park, california. born and raised in taiwan, yaling graduated from academy of art university and lives in the bay area with her husband and maltese pup.

yaling produces beautiful bags, napkins, pillows and apparel all hand screen printed and sewn locally in the bay area. my personal favorite s yaling’s tea towel in dear mika ($21)- it’s such a sweet pattern that looks both vintage and modern at the same time. you can pick up a set of yaling’s napkins ($38), pillows ($48), scarves ($52), bags ($68) and much more right here. enjoy!
