Black and White Bunting

Those lovely bunting commissions keep rolling in: this beautiful swag was made to measure for a large kitchen noticeboard. The range of designs gives a smart look to this designer bunting and our customer is delighted.

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.

Pretty Spring Buntings



I couldn't resist sharing this beautiful bunting before sending it off for the birthday girl, the colours are so warm and pretty that they remind me Spring is just around the corner.

It is the perfect time of year to be planning your wedding, those grey skies look a little brighter when you have something exiting to look forward to, and we are receiving lots of queries about making special wedding bunting to match the Bride's flowers or the Bridesmaids' dresses: bunting flying in the breeze, at the church gates or hanging cheerfully in your reception marquee adds a wonderful touch of colour, not to mention that it is eco-friendly and can be re-used time after time.

We can easily personalise your bunting with the Bride and Groom's names, date or even hearts, for a truly personal touch. Let me know what you have in mind and I will see what we can do!

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!

Snow Bunting!

A quick peek at our very-weathered My Colours bunting: this has been out in the wind, sun, rain and now SNOW since last February, as we have been testing to see how it weathers. Not bad we reckon!

Hampshire has had a glorious few days of snow and beauty, we are so lucky to have everywhere looking so pretty. Zigzag is taking a short break but we will be back as soon as we have eaten and celebrated and Father Christmas has wrought his seasonal magic. Wishing you all the very best for a wonderfully Merry Christmas, and see you back here soon!

Love from us all,

Kim at Zigzag xxx

Charity Bunting


Our bunting gets to some interesting places! This is our Vintage Union Jack bunting gracing the Calendar Girls raising money for that great charity Help for Heroes. They had a Fifties-themed event to launch their 2010 calendar at the Hard Rock Cafe in London, the models all posing in vintage undies, and plenty of lovely music to tempt that cash from the pockets.

Our bunting went hotfoot to another fundraiser for the same charity, so we are doing our bit to support the guys: if you want to do the same pop into the Heroes website for information.

Great British Christmas Tea Party

To Dallywaters' Tea Rooms in New York, where they are putting on a fantastic series of British Teaparties for Christmas, with the help of Zigzag's vintage-effect Union Jack Bunting. A great way to celebrate!
