Text: Celeste Najt. Emilse gives us her definition of the term, “a variant of author’s design, more manual or handmade, and recovering techniques like embroidery and knitting: handmade things made with a lot of love.”
The store’s colourfulness is the first thing that invites us to cross the glazed door on Thames Street to become immersed in a world of tiny things made with plenty of detail and inspiration. All the products on sale have been made by artists and designers. There is a lot to chose from: notepads, china, armchairs with unique upholstery, clothes for kids, jewellery, books, T-shirts, posters… The most popular these days are the hand-embroidered cushions in the shape of a bear, the shopping trolleys by Violraviol and some knitted cacti!
“We make cushions, pencil-cases and aprons with fabrics specially brought from Japan and Europe; we restore antique furniture and design new pieces of furniture with Scandinavian reminiscences,” Emilse says, giving us a hint of the search and care behind everyone of the objects for sale in this delightful store. Cou Cou is a simultaneously cosmopolitan and childish corner. If you are considering buying presents for your beloved ones, you will most probably find in this store what you are looking for.
