The Thousands

Bug & Megs are feltophiles. While the other kids were playing ponies, this crafty couple were tinkering with trinkets and fooling with finger puppets. But they soon grew tired of inferior acrylic "felt". They looked everywhere for an Australian supplier of real felt, but alas, none could be found. Despondent, they made some scones and contemplated their malaise. "But wait!", Megs probably said to Bugs. "We’re grown ups now! Let’s set up our own felt shop!" So they did – it felt so right.

Currently B&M felt is available online but a real shop is coming to Freo soon (we’ll keep you posted). As well as making gorgeous felt products, B&M supply high quality wool felt sourced from responsible producers (there’s not a scrap of waste – just lots of scraps of felt). Their blog follows the ingenious use of felt – from this swish hat to this incredible topological rug of NYC. Jeepers, felt really can be used for anything! Even roof insulation. If only Minister Garrett was a feltophile too.
