In our Tulusa Studio, Alexandria, VA
The heart of Tulusa has always been bringing color and joy to people's homes. As the country continues to stay in place, we've thought more about the ways we can channel our good vibes into our at-home products of table linens, kitchenware and pillows. If we have to be home, we want our space filled with beauty, charm, and a little bit of magic.
No need to go anywhere for this treasure hunt! Pull from what is around you and your table-scape will always be perfect!
Scandi cool or devilishly hot, we’ve got you covered
Modern square plates layered with our new Tiger napkins in Peacock Blue Ombre’ create a mood that feels calm and cool. The blue in the napkins and the glass orbs tie it all together while the chunky and small crystals dot the table with shapes and textures that are natural and lovely. In this table all of the guests get to share in the beauty of the meandering center piece and our Tigers add the right amount of cool to a dinner party with close friends.
OK so yes, we happen to have a rams’ skull laying around the house and it happens to be perfect with our lusty ruby red Cheetah Print Napkins, crystals (see a theme here people?) wooden chargers, textured plates, a few pussy willows strewn here and there, the coolest candles from our friends Stick Candles and even a silver coiled necklace. This table is red hot, a conversation starter, and pure rock and roll!
Let’s talk table runners!
I can’t remember a dinner party where I didn’t have one. They are the base, the center, the conductor of color, vibe, and style. They cover up, lead with pattern, set the mood, and can be the ground that other elements play off of. Tulusa Table Runners are punchy, modern and decidedly not your grandma’s table runners. Mix and match among all of our other patterns and colors,

Cosmic vibes found here! What could be better than a set of four Stardust Placemats? These shimmery
beauties are new to the Tulusa line. Match them or mix them with contrasting table linens and let the good vibes flow.
Linen Tea Towels aren’t just for the kitchen. We use them as guest towels in our powder room
and since they’re wrapped in cotton Italian ribbon from our friends at Studio Carta our Tea Towels make a beautiful gift. Reuse the ribbon to wrap one of these beauties around a bottle of wine, a gift of the sourdough bread you’ve perfected over the last few months ;) or wrap a boxed treasure. They come in our four beautifully mixed colors printed in our ombré style using five dynamic Tulusa patterns including our new Stag, perfect for holiday gift giving.
Hello Gorgeous! While we might be known for our print making skills we took a left turn this year and turned things inside out. True story, we were painting some ombré linen to be printed on and turned one of our pieces over to see the subtle beauty that reminiscent of Monet’s gardens with a little more electricity thrown in. They come in four colors and three sizes.
Meet our new BFFs. Judging from the reaction on
 
Instagram, Lion Friend Among the Blooms and our Superstar Giraffe with Rainbow Rays are destined to be best sellers! Perfect for both a kids room or a sophisticated and funky space.
 
HELLLLLO HOODIE! We couldn’t resist putting our Superstar Giraffe and Lion Friend on hoodies. Like their pillow partners, each piece is printed and painted by hand, and the variations are part of the beauty of what we do.

It wouldn’t be 2020 without talking about masks. In April, we did the pivot that so many textile designers did. We started making masks. First to give to our local homeless shelter, and the Health and Human Services Department of our city, and then we starting printing, sewing, and selling them. We now are offering them as one of our wholesale items and are creating masks that reflects the branding of shops, businesses, and schools. In the past five months, we’ve printed, source, sold, and donated over 12,000 and you can bet that we know how to make a good mask! Below you’ll see just a few of our offerings and the anatomy of a Tulusa mask.
