Happy Monday. I’ve been enamored with the Scout & Catalogue Etsy shop for years now (she opened shop in 2009). Finally, at the beginning of this year, I snagged these marbled notebooks off of my want list and officially made my first purchase. They’re gorgeous, of course, and the subject of many Instagrams for the company I work for. But after finding Bre (S&C) on Instagram @scout_catalogue, and seeing her new line of bohemian-beach influenced accessories, it was time to finally feature Scout & Catalogue here on IFM. Look at this pastel colorscape that served as inspiration! (Also, I was a little sad that Bre had been in LA and also at the Echo Park craft fair & I had totally missed saying hi!) Anyway, ever since I learned that this brand works with a manufacturer in Portland, I had a few questions, and I was happy to learn that the factory S&C works with supports responsible production, wages, & local sourcing. So Scout & Catalogue has expanded quite a bit in the past year or two and in addition to Etsy, offers an independent online shop full of dyed textile fashion, accessories, & goods.
^^ My favorite color palettes collide. SIGH!!
^^ Possibly my next purchase, a pastel canvas purse.
Inspired by a little beach town in Mexico, it exemplifies a soft pastel rainbow, also known as — the colors of my dreams.
I am also quite smitten with the tote version.
^^ Obviously, because I have a thing with throw pillows right now.
Scout & Catalogue is a brand that I’ve absolutely loved to see grow over the past few years, expand from Etsy, and even work with other makers across cities. They’re Vancouver based + always up for honing in on technique and sharing with all of us. Check ’em out here.
