Yay!! we are starting our second Alphabet Set! I have been so looking forward to it! Lets get going...


Amenity

Nicole Chiala and Kristin de Corpo started Amenity in 2004. By 2006, Amenity had it’s roots firmly in the bedding, accessories and homewares industry.

This season, Amenity has realised a long term goal of offering organic design exclusively on organic and sustainable materials. In addition to new artwork, 2008 has also seen some exciting growth within the Amenity range – beautifully handwoven alpaca throws from Peru, the long awaited “Muir” bed designed by Nicole, and their gorgeous new Holiday Collection.
