Antipast: Flower Rug (Black) - Hobonichi Techo 2018

AntipastFlower Rug (Black)A5 Size (fits Cousin)

Antipast is a popular fashion sock brand that is beloved by many women for its detailed, beautiful designs and comfortable material. This cover is made with the same material used in Antipast socks, showcasing their incredible skill in embroidering such intricate designs on soft material. In this Flower Rug design, a gorgeous array of colorful flowers dotting across the cover pops out from the black background.

One of the things that makes the Antipast sock material so great is the way the design includes the smallest details, down to the flower petals and leaves.

The zipper pull is accented with a dove carrying a heart.

The cover interior has a sophisticated look with its camel brown pockets coupled with the black and camel bookmarks with round charms.

The cover material was constructed the same way Antipast makes socks. You can feel the careful construction of the knitting as you run your fingers over the designs protruding from the fabric.
