Since spring is officially in the air (here in Europe at least!) I have teamed up with Fouta De Val to offer you the chance to win a fabulous fouta. Fouta's are made in Tunisia from 100% woven cotton using traditional techniques. They measure 190 cm x 100 cm and are so versatile they can be used as a pretty tablecloth in the garden, a cool bed spread, a light towel for days out in the archepelego or a scarf for cool summer evenings. Choose from a whole range of spring colours or stripes or mix and match for a unique style. I'm sure you'll love foutas as much as I do!
The company has such great ethics too - foutas are more and more rare and out competed by mass-produced varieties of poor quality. By purchasing a Fouta de Val you're supporting the local craft tradition in Tunisia and the livelihood of many local crafts men and women. In addition Foute de Val pays a contribution to Sweden's Save The Children organisation for each piece from the Mahdia and Carthage range sold. We like!
To win a fouta all you need to do is:
- Visit the Fouta De Val home page and choose your favourite fouta
- Leave a comment below stating which fouta you would most like to win and why
This competition is open to everyone, where ever you are! Please be sure to enter by Midnight GMT Sunday 2nd June 2013 so you don't miss out. The winner will be announced here on Tuesday 4th June. Spread the word! :)

ReplyDeleteGreat! If I win, I would like to have the Carthage - natur / mint (because I deserve to be prepared for the summer to come (at last?!) and it would make a lovely blanket for my baby/almost toddler (next Friday!))
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I would love the Haidra - svart / grå because I'm moving from the Netherlands to Sweden in three months and it would fit perfectly in my new apartment!

I'm following my scandinavian home for several months and it was my main inspiration during decorating my new apartment where I live with my husband and 3-years old daughter. I love scandinavian design and all my interiors are almost finished. However, our bedroom is still plain and I'm looking for inspiration for decorating with colour. I think that minty Medina - mintgrön would suit it perfectly! Thank you for all marvelous posts and greetings from Poland!
ReplyDeleteHi. :) I'd love to win the Izza in marine blue. It would look amazing in my scandinavian inspired apartment and it definitely would keep me and my little adorable Maltese dog warm in a freaky weather like it's in Poland now. I've never heard of foutas and would love to own one. And by the way - I absolutely love the fact that Fouta De Val is so involved in helping the world. More companies should do that!
ReplyDeletexoxo
I'd love to win the Jasmine in ocean green, because spring here is still a bit too chilly, to go out without a scarf. *e
ReplyDeletethe raspberry red coloured Amina is so lovely :)
ReplyDeleteI want them all, actually:). They are gorgeous! If I had to pick one, it would be the grey one.
ReplyDeleteMy girlfriend and I just moved in together in a small but cosy apartment. We frequently visit this website in search of some inspiration. Since it's still chilly here in Belgium this spring/summer, I'd be awesome to win a "Sahara - senapsgul" Fouta to keep us warm at evenings and nights (especially since the heating isn't working properly yet).
ReplyDeleteThe Medina in mint green would be lovely at the end of my bed or on the dock.
ReplyDeletei finally managed to choose one, this is Haidra-black/grey. there are so beautiful and i think this one will be great for my vacations in Greek islands.
ReplyDeletethank you!!!!!

So pretty! I would love a Jasmine - Ocean Green. Because after 2 years in cold Quebec, I'm finally going back home in the South of France, and longing to spend a day at the beach :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are all lovely, but the detailing on the Aminas are particularly great. Grey being my favorite with raspberry as a close second!
ReplyDeleteThe Haidra - grey / pink is my favourite but they are all beautiful and they look very lovely. Btw thank you for your great blog.
ReplyDeleteI love each of them but Medina - mintgreen is my favourite one :) Why? Mint is everywhere this season and I cannot resist it also. Regards :) Anna
ReplyDeleteI find Amina Green Mint absolutely gorgeous and love it so much because it reminds me of the waters of the Adriatic Sea in Sirolo, in the Marche Region (Italy).
ReplyDeleteBarbara
All so nice!!
ReplyDeleteI like the Mahdia - klarblå or the Medina - mintgrön!!
:-)
Hi, I love all but I think the Amina hallonröd is great, it will be nice for vacation :)
ReplyDeleteI love them all but the Izza in blue/gray is my favourite. Love foutas!
ReplyDeleteI think I would love the Jasmine pink. I have just had my colours done and as I am a 'Summer' this would be a perfect, versatile item to start my new wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love them all! Finally made a decision though ... it would be the Amina fouta in raspberry red. b.madge@hotmail.com
ReplyDeletewow, those are amazing. I would have to say I would have to chose Izza-blue-grey. I love the depth of the colour and the larger size would be great for snuggling under.
ReplyDeleteHi, I like so much two of them Carthage - natur / mint and Izza - beige:) Colours are very calming and fantastic for summer (hopefully we'll have some sunshine). Back to subject I would choose Izza - beige.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Birmingham:)
m.lisiak@op.pl
So many beautiful colors. I would choose the Medina light green because I LOVE green and I can imagine using it all over my house, on a picnic, or as a shawl. Thanks for the opportunity to win one!
ReplyDeleteJasmine - orange is my favorites! A nice colour with lot of energy.
ReplyDeletesigfridpettersen63@hotmail.com
Izza - blue grey for me please. Will mach my new salvaged garden chairs (white timber) so well. these are all beautiful products, thanks for introducing them to us.
ReplyDeleteI had been told about the Fouta by a friend who lived in Tunisia for some years and raved about it, but I had some difficulty "seeing" the concept (shawl/table runner/bed throw - all purpose beautiful piece of fabric that she described).
ReplyDeleteI can now understand it. They look sophisticated yet understated. Clean and minimalist, with ethnic influences yet incredibly modern. I am drooling for half of them, but my absolute favourite is the Amina in grey.
I tend to go for dark, somber colours in clothing, in design I find myself attracted to all shades of grey and the subtle pattern in the grey Amina just makes me ... happy.

ReplyDeleteThe bold minty freshness of the Carthage- natur/mint screams of a refreshing holiday, this would energise me every day. A great company for yourself, or friends and family presents and sustainable doing good all round. Love love! X

My favorite is Haidra vit/svart.My home can be lighten and brighten from the clean and soft color. And the dark line is represents me.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and I love these foutas! I will definitely put them on my wish list!! If I`m the very lucky winner I would choose Carthage - nature / pink, save the children Edition, because I feel strongly that each consumer sholud take a little bit of responsibility- and because it`s beautiful! :)

ReplyDeleteI'm over-the-moon for the Haidra - isblå / ljusgrå. I've never seen such a beautifully vivid aqua marine - perfect for living here in coastal Maine!
ReplyDeleteI love the Amina - anis! It's so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are really wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt's really hard to choose just one, but I think that I would go for the Haidra in blue/purple because I love the simplicity of the design, the traditional blue, and the vibrant punch of the pinky purple.
ReplyDeleteAmina Gray is a lovely soft colour.
ReplyDeleteI love the Haidra - grå / svart best. Neutral colours for our retro home. I love the concept of multiple uses and the ethics of the company.
ReplyDeletei love the Haidra - gray/yellow . it would look amazing on my chair in my new terrasse from the house i just baught with my lover, right under my yellow parasol :). It would even be amazing on one of our canapé in the living room, why not! thanks for that give-away!

ReplyDeleteMy choice is the Amina in grey. The classic herringbone pattern would be a chic addition to my basic color-blocked summer wardrobe.

The Sahara in red or any of the others would be more than welcome! ;) xo
ReplyDeletemedina in mint! I am trying so hard to get outside of my comfort zone and choose color instead of neutrals.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a sweet giveaway! I love these, and I believe I would choose Sahara - Sea Green because I love the color and it would be a perfect multi-purpose scarf/shawl/picnic blanket for my little family this summer! :)
ReplyDeleteI think that the one I prefer is the Amina Nyhet anis and I have the impression that this wonderful colour could make the sun shine ! (This is my birthday on June 4..., maybe I have a chance to win !)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for this giveaway.
Have a nice day !
Amina - mintgrön is the one I love the most... Maybe is the colour that brings us to summer, while at home in front of the fire place....great inspiration, great blog and lovely give-away! Hej då & tack from Barcelona!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Love all those colours. Love the blue ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks for it.
I have just discovered you, will come again
These look so versatile! I would choose the Medina - ljusgrön. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI really love the Jasmine - rosa fouta, so simple but lovely!!

ReplyDeletethanks

the Amina - mint green. Really beautiful and springy. And the color is a perfection! :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the Amina - mint green fouta. This would be the perfect piece to begin designing our nursery for our gorgeous bubs due Nov '13 :)
ReplyDeleteI just love the 'jasmine - ocean green' and the 'sahara - lavender'. They make me dream!
ReplyDeletee
I adore the yellow-pink. I am in Nice,France,and if it stops raining, I could use it on the beach!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Haidra - gul / rosa, because of it's colors. I would look great and really make any outfit/couch/picnic look so much better during the upcoming months! Fingers crossed =) /Hanna
ReplyDeleteAdore Haidra - grå / rosa, because It perfectly fits to my hart :)
ReplyDeleteThe Amina-grå would go beautifully as an accent over the couch in my living room! I love how there are many uses for it... an option to keep warm by the fire but also bring out the gray in my walls. I love these!!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I am delighted to be able to enter this giveaway since I am in the US and usually unable to partake.
ReplyDeleteAsking to pick just one fouta is like asking to select the most beautiful flower. They are all gorgeous.
Since I must choose just one, I love the Mahdia violet. It is marvelous that Save the Children benefits from the sale of this lovely throw. It would go perfectly in my bedroom as well.
My outdoor space doesn't get direct sunlight. I can picture me enjoying a lovely but cool day with this fouta.
Thank you!
All gorgeous and so hard to choose just one! I'm going with the Amina-Gray. Perfect for our deck, and our beach vacation this summer. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the Amina in grey. I love the soft herringbone pattern and imagine wearing it as a large scarf on evenings in the summer.
ReplyDeleteSonja - Canada
I love all of them!! however the haidra - bla/lila is a little bit extra lovely! I would love to have a piece of Tunisia in Australia - how amazing would that be?!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for this giveaway, it's very generous of you and it always makes me discover new design products. I start each day by visiting your blog and it is very inspiring. It's hard to choose a favorite one, but I think I prefer the Carthage - nature / red because of the contrast between the 2 colors and the fact that it can be used as a tablecloth or blanket.

My favourite is Medina /pink. I would LOVE to take it with me to picnic in parks and seaside in Tallinn! You are welcome to join! :)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't choose between Sahara - havsgrön, Jasmine - havsgrön and Haidra - grå / svart. They are all so beautiful! If pressed i would have to say Sahara - havsgrön. We are moving house in next couple of weeks and beautiful fouta would be amazing feature. Lots of love. Ness

They are all gorgeous and such a lovely product to have as a giveaway. If I were lucky enough to win, I would love the Haidra iceblue/grey. Just lovely for a summer's day especially on the beach. Beavo, London.
ReplyDeletewhat a cool give-away! I absolutly love it. would love to win Haidra in grey/pink. Both my favourite colors.
ReplyDeleteI always go for green! I love the Jasmine in ocean green ... so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love Jasmine - havsgrön, i would like to win it because it could be perfect for my home in Italy!!!
ReplyDeletehi!
ReplyDeleteI would love the Amina in grey. I'd use it for the beach in summer, but I think that the colour and the woven herringbone pattern makes it a classic and thus etremely versatile and usable almost all year round. I can imagine it used as a tablecoth, over a monochrome bedspread or as a throw on my couch. The possibilities are endless and given the good quality, I could have it for years without getting bored...
lucky me if I win!
Maria, Athens
Wow-they are all so gorgeous! Thanks for introducting me to this-have never heard of fouta. I LOVE the Mahdia in violet...such a uplifting color, and I think I would use it as a blanket by the fire pit in the summer, and on the couch by the fireplace in the winter. It would be my grown-up blankie!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you get one too - they are just like this blog - simple, spare and beautiful. I love the Carthage in Natur/Mint because I imagine wrapping my little ones in it as they come out of the cold blue water to the grey rocky beach.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Merrilee
And how cool is it that they donate to charity too???!!!
DeleteI'd love the Sahara - terracotta red. It looks so comfortable and oldschool for my home that we are building. A place with scandinavian feel and old wooden house accent details.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the amina-anise. Such a cool color, and a perfect item for my new home in Portland. It will be lovely to wrap myself in it, and drink tea on those grey days.
ReplyDeleteI love love love the Amina - mint green. I have just purchased a vintage military camping bed to use as a lounge/day bed and one of these beauties would live very comfortably on it! Love your work, thanks. (London)
ReplyDeletethe mint green one is fantastic!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing!
Hope I'm not too late! I love the natural/ mint one! Thanks kindly :)
ReplyDeleteI'd LOVE to have the Haidra - grå / gul, yellow and gray is always the best mix :)

ReplyDeleteOh or the mahdia violet;) my comment is also above but I couldn't leave my name using ipad - annabelleadams_00@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteOh wow, they are all so gorgeous! I'd choose either the gray/yellow Haidra or the Light green Medina. These seem perfect for our falls and winters in Phoenix, Arizona. I'd use one while sitting out on the patio in the evening.
ReplyDeleteohh these are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI love the design and everything! It's so incredibly cool.
