Best of San Diego - Cotton & Flax in San Diego Magazine

This month, Cotton & Flax was named the best fabric shop in San Diego by San Diego Magazine! It’s such an honor to be embraced by the local community just two years after arriving. The encouragement and support I receive from my San Diego neighbors means everything to me.

If you’ve visited the shop this year, I’d love it if you left a review! Positive reviews help me reach more local design enthusiasts and spread the word about the retail store and my creative classes.

You can find the Best of San Diego issue on newsstands now!

I’m excited to host a show of new paintings from Karina Bania at the shop this month! Karina is a talented local artist, and her abstract mixed media pieces feature beautiful pigmented washes and expressive textures.

We’re now displaying some of her newest mixed media paintings, which we hung in time for Art Around Adams, a two-mile art walk around San Diego’s Adams Ave! Her four original paintings are hung throughout the shop, alongside our range of handcrafted home decor.

Come discover the range of affordable art we carry in-store! Plus, you’ll find new arrivals from Melanie Abrantes Designs, Wolfum, Fruitsuper, Knit Wit Magazine, and more.

Cotton & Flax in San Diego Magazine

January 30, 2019

I’m honored to be featured in San Diego Magazine this month! I moved to San Diego just over two years ago, and it’s been wonderful to connect with so many creative people in my short time in this vibrant city.

Opening the retail shop was a huge undertaking in 2018, and it’s led to so many wonderful connections ⏤ I really feel that I’m contributing to the community on Adams Ave. and the San Diego design scene as a whole. Sarah Pfledderer, the writer who interviewed me for the magazine, really connected with my mission for the shop: to highlight fresh, modern design from up-and-coming artists, and celebrate the makers who make San Diego special.

The photo in the article was taken a few months ago, and it’s so fun to see how much has changed already. We have new home decor pieces in from designers like Fruitsuper, Funsize Ceramics, Aroara, Chaparral Studio, AHeirloom, Clay + Craft, and more, and the shop is looking fresh. Come in and say hello!
