Rugby Ralph Lauren

We had a big order from Ralph Lauren for their London Tweed Run, a vintage-style cycle ride starting at their smart Covent Garden store, which drew entrants in all manner of Tweed clothing.

We provided Union Jack bunting for the Tweed Run in New York earlier in the year, and it was good to have Ralph Lauren back needing bunting in their trademark colours. It did all look rather lovely and a number of fashion photographers used it is a backdrop for their shots too!

CBBC use Zigzag Bespoke Bunting

We have just seen some videos of our special bunting for CBBC in action, they were delighted to find we could make them just what they ordered, a haphazard mix of shapes and colours to match their zingy summer theme.

Fun, eh! They sent over some more, so here is another brief one:

And a screenshot from the longer advert, with a camping theme:

We're in the mood for summer now, thank you CBBC!

Wow Thank You!

We are very excited here at Zigzag Barn to be part of a brand new website featuring handmade and upcycled crafts from all over Great Britain. WowThankYou has just launched its site promoting British businesses and providing a showcase for unique handmade British crafts.

We made Wow some Bespoke Bunting to match their homepage and this is their cat nestling in the swag of flags. Watch out ladies, keep bunting out of the reach of children and pets!

Zigzag is delighted to join Wow Thank You as they promote local businesses and help Britain recover from an over-indulgence in imported crafts that have been made cheaply but with no regard for human decency or fair treatment. Here at Zigzag our child labour is well-rewarded ! Please visit their website and take a peek at the many wonderful British crafts on offer.

Bespoke Coral Bunting

I have just finished making this lovely commission for bunting in shades of coral and peach with black check: I think I have done them proud!

We had none of these fabrics in stock but I was able to make use of our sourcing contacts to track down fabrics and ribbon that fit the bill, and since they wanted to bring in an extra touch of black I finished the flags with pretty zigzag stitching. It just goes to show that you can match just about any colour scheme with beautiful bunting.

Bespoke Bunting

The Zigzag Landrover has been out and about in Hampshire again, proudly sporting her Bespoke Bunting. Emma just loves to go offroad, so Martin is happy to enjoy the ride, even in this chilly weather!

Let us know if we can make you some bunting just for you, using your favourite fabrics, or even you own recycled cloth, we love making commissions and will give you a clear idea of price and timing if you drop us a line.

Whilst I am talking cars, here's some Zigzag Gingham bunting adorning a lovely old Morris Minor for a fundraising rally. Doesn't she look well-dressed!
