Luxe artisan brand, Mexsii Bedheads, has launched to the homewares industry with its debut trade show appearance at Life Instyle Melbourne earlier this month.
Created by upholsterer and interior decorator Merryn Paul and Sarah Falzon, who has a background in marketing, Mexsii Bedheads officially launched late last year but felt the time was right to gain more exposure and stockists.
“Retailers were very excited to see something new and different and fell in love with our product,” says Falzon. “A lot of retailers were already familiar with our brand – which we were thrilled about – but revelled in the chance to touch our fabric and see the quality craftsmanship that goes into each piece.
“Each bedhead is created with original artwork that has been exclusively created for us and then is hand crafted by Merryn herself. As upholstery is more of a men’s dominated trade people are often shocked to know that Merryn is the person behind the immaculate craftsmanship. We draw upon nature and travel for inspiration and try to minimise our environmental footprint by using sustainable raw materials.
“Merryn created the concept after being frustrated with the lack of inspiring bedhead options available. As an upholsterer she was becoming increasingly bored with upholstering the same type of bedheads in the same fabric over and over and wanted to do something different.”
Mexsii Bedheads is now working on its next collection to be released in 2015.
