Instyle: Majella Skansebakken, Ni Night

Sunday, November 28th, 2010

Ni Night is debuting at Kids Instyle in Sydney 2011.  We are thrilled to be showcasing Majella Skansebakken’s gorgeous children’s furniture, linen and accessories.  Not only is the brand’s style simple and elegant, it has a conscience.  Ni Night works with the Tabitha Foundation, and proceeds of items sold by Ni Night are delivered to some of Cambodia’s most needy communities.  When we ask Majella what was the best thing about what she does, she replied “being fortunate enough to be able to combine my business with charity work in Cambodia.  As well as building 10 houses in villages of Cambodia, I have a vocational training company making clothes and have great long-term commitments with orphanages in the country.”

Make sure you meet up with Majella to get more of her story and the Ni Night range in Sydney.

Brooke Murphy and Danielle Townsend-Oneil are cousins.  And besties.  And co-owners of Tickets for CoCo, a trans-seasonal label, designed to cater for ‘real’ female body shapes.  Pulling into the Life Instyle station for the first time in Sydney, February 2011, Tickets for CoCo will bring a stylish range of free sized silk blended pieces in enticing colour palettes.  Focusing on timeless design, superb fabrics and handmade detail, each piece in the collection exudes quality, style and comfort.

We recently caught up with Brooke who told us, the best thing about being starting Tickets for CoCo has been “making women with real bodies feel beautiful – it’s really satisfying.  And being cousins and work partners makes for lots of fun too and the luxury of being to work around our 5 sons…well kinda!
