Birch fabrics are incredibly popular, due to their beautiful designs and their use of high quality certified organic materials. We know many of you are curious about this so we’d like to share with you their certification, which shows Birch textiles are processed in accordance with Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS). The GOTS is one of the world’s best standards for recognizing organic textiles; only fabrics with over a 70% organic fibre content can be GOTS certified. Are you a fan of organic fabrics? Let us know!
Recently, we held a delicious team building event, which saw the team at modeS4u working to create Temarizushi (Japanese rice balls) masterpieces! Divided into small groups, each group was tasked with creating and decorating 15 rice balls in all sorts of beautiful and funny ways with yummy ingredients such as seaweed, salmon, snapper and more, within 30 minutes. Leading this activity was Ms. Yuki of Yuki’s Table; she alongside head of modeS4U, Sandra, judged the many colorful designs. They ultimately decided upon the winning group, whose creations included rice balls with a cat face, vampire face and many other designs. After the event, everyone was then able to eat their scrumptious creations so really, we were all winners! Does this post make you hungry? Check out some fun rice bento accessories if you’d like to try making your own food masterpiece!
