Sage and Clare

Sage and Clare We create beautiful homewares that embrace a love of refined maximalism and handmade techniques.

We believe homes should be an ever evolving manifestation of the lives and stories of the people within them, filled with pieces that speak to the soul. An online store that thoughtfully collates and celebrates handmade, artisanal and bohemian wares from around the world

One of the ideas we kept returning to with Dakota was that practicality and beauty don’t need to live separate lives. It’s something ranch living has understood for a long time. The things used every day can still carry pattern, detail and a sense of artistry.

Our robes felt like a natural place to explore that.

The silhouette stays relaxed and useful. The pattern brings the expression. And something as ordinary as getting out of the shower suddenly becomes a little more considered.

Because we’re far more interested in making everyday things special than saving special things for occasionally.

We think interiors have become a little too precious.

The sofa nobody eats on. The towels reserved for guests. The tablecloth waiting for an occasion important enough to deserve it.

Ranch homes gave us an interesting counterpoint while designing Dakota. Practicality and beauty weren’t opposing ideas. Things could be decorative and still work hard. Beautiful textiles were folded, dragged around, sat on and lived with. We love that.

Perhaps the ultimate sign of a beautiful home isn’t how carefully everything has been preserved. It’s how freely everything gets used.

We’ve always had a soft spot for the textiles you find in old ranch homes.

Bandanas folded into drawers. Woven blankets thrown over the back of a chair. Needlework, checks and florals that have somehow all ended up in the same room and are much better for it.

What we love is that none of it was necessarily designed to go together.

That became an important idea for Dakota. Rather than repeating one motif or making every pattern speak the same language, we wanted contrast. Something graphic beside something romantic. A bold check against detailed embroidery. Tufting and fringe bringing another layer of texture altogether.

It’s a way of designing that feels much more collected than coordinated. Each piece has its own character, but there’s enough of a thread between them to make it all belong.

That’s the difference between borrowing an aesthetic and understanding what makes it work.

Our Dakota collection is inspired by a life lived close to the land.

Sprawling ranches surrounded by mountains. Textured mud brick walls. Warm wooden beams worn smooth by time. Mornings that begin to the sound of grazing horses and long days spent outside.

Then, the ritual of coming home. Dusty, sun-warmed and ready for a steaming hot shower.

It’s this contrast we love most about Dakota. The ruggedness of life outdoors, met with the comfort and beauty of home.

A little rugged. A little romantic. A whole lotta beauty.

Not all inspiration is visual.

Sometimes it’s an idea that quietly rearranges the way you think.

We’ve been learning about a number of concepts within Japanese philosophy lately. Far richer and more nuanced than we could capture in a single post, but these five have given us plenty to think about.

We’d love to hear if you’ve come across any Japanese philosophies that have stayed with you.

The beauty of textiles is that they’re never still.

A fold catches the light differently. A motif appears, then disappears. A familiar pattern becomes something entirely new.

Can a home be a work of art?

Japanese architect Kazuo Shinohara thought so.

We do too.

Not because homes should be perfect, but because they should make everyday life feel more beautiful.

Completed in Tokyo in 1961, the Umbrella House is a beautiful reminder that the greatest works of art are the ones we get to live inside.

We have a theory.

If you only ever look for beauty in beautiful places, you’ll miss most of it.

Sometimes it’s tucked away in a quiet corner like this stairwell shot by Scott Kelby
