Patriotic designs for 2012 celebrations!

When it comes to trends you expect them to come & go – but there is one style that seems to be staying for a while!  Union jack designs in both home decor and clothing.

It has been a popular style for home decor now for at least the last five years, on cushions, bedspreads and biscuit tins, etc…and then with the Royal wedding last year it moved on into clothing.  Some has to be said, looks tacky, but there are also some designers who have taken this theme and come up with some great items.

It’s 2012, and with the Jubilee & the Olympics to celebrate, we are keen to show our patriotic side by flying the flag in more ways than one!
