The Ken towel range from Safari Living – bold multi-coloured with black and white stripe reverse and soft woven banding. The bath mat (top) is a super thick pure cotton – made in Italy.
So you ALL KNOW how much I love Safari Living… Melbourne’s gorgeous little corner store design Mecca in High st, Prahran East? It is truly the most delectable, perfectly edited range of local and internationally sourced homewares and textiles under one roof… well worth a trip over the river if you’re a Northsider like me! (I posted some pics of the store back here…) BUT if you aren’t close by, don’t forget that you can now SHOP ONLINE with Safari Living!
Yessirree. The internet just got way more interesting – and dangerous! :)
Do pop over and check out the online store, and show your support for this brilliant local retailer! Safari’s owner Felicity is just the loveliest lady and has been so supportive of The Design Files since we met last year… and today I am very pleased to welcome Safari Living as my newest site sponsor!
You might remember that Felicity was generous enough to offer one of her gorgeous Missoni Towels for my Christmas giveaway… and guess what… TODAY she’s offering a stunning Missoni ‘Ken’ Bath Mat (60 x 90cm), and 2 x matching hand towels (40 x 70cm) for one lucky reader!
Oh my! Are they not the most beautiful, lush bathroom towels you have ever SEEN?!
Please leave a comment here before midnight tonight (Tuesday) to be in the running. The winner will be selected at random and will be announced here tomorrow!
Huge thanks to all the lovely ladies at Safari (Felicity, Belinda, Natalie!) for this wonderful prize! Such loveliness. x
Please note the competition how now closed! Thanks so much for all your entries and stay tuned tomorrow for the winner announcement!

I would like to enter your draw please.
Would love to grace my bathroom with divine Missoni goodies. YAY please enter me. x

We love the online store but the shop just makes me swoon. I feel transported to a dream state walking in there. Ahhhh.My credit card used to benefit from being across town but what to do now only a few clicks away?

Oh Lucy, how is it that your giveaways just keep getting better and better?! I'd love to be in the draw – thank you!
I often buy the small Missoni towels as wedding gifts as they are so damn reasonable for something so gorgeous. Great to know I can now buy them online (alhtough I never miss an opportunity to visit the beautiful store)
Oh my, I luuuuv Missoni!! Please pick me, pick me! D*
Me too, please and thank you!
I have the smallest, dullest bathroom in the world…for the moment! Would looooove some Missoni magic to brighten it up.
What a great shop! Very excited to discover something new – I love the 'blah blah blah' cushion.
Cute :)
Please enter me in the draw.
Great to hear about south side creative businesses for us that live over this way! Cheers, Shelley Panton
I adore your blog. I discovered you when you covered my niece Victoria's apartment. I subscribed, and reading your blog is like my morning treat; delightful things, design pleasures of Melbourne, wonderful tidbits. It's a lovely way to start the day. Thanks
The missoni colour range is my favourite – our bathmat is so boring and worn, a new one would make an absolute world of difference!
Enter me in the draw please! x
What a stunning range & great shop.
I also LOVE Safari.. it's so important to support all the wonderful smaller shops in Melbourne. Well done Design Files x
I would love to win the Missoni!
I am on a misson to inject some colour into my home. I have a very neutral pallet, which is calming an serene. I am currently saving for some thonet bentwood chairs in bright yellow. The Missoni towels are just what my bathroom needs
What a fabulous giveaway Lucy! Gorgeous.

Ooh lovely! They're so very much too pretty to use in my bathroom though! But I will. Don't worry, I will use them.
So beautiful, love Missoni. We need a Safari north of the river!
Ah Safari, my favorite shop in the whole wide world and for years a good neighbor (living a few doors down was a bit expensive). Glad to hear there is finally an online retail space. As a few comments here have already sujested, Missoni hand towels make the BEST wedding gifts. YAY!
lovely. what a great giveaway. so much inspiration on your blog. thank you
OMG – I'd love to have this gorgeous prize. Just what my bathroom needs for a lift!

Cooo-eee can you hear me calling your name from across the Bass Strait? My house needs Missoni! Pretty please?
Dangerous indeed! i am a northsider too and have been meaning to get to the Safari store ever since i was told about it when i visited the Missoni store in Sydney. I will still need to make the effort to get to the store though – it looks beautiful!
Taryn
Oh my… Those towels and bathmat are just stunning! How they wouldn't finish off my freshly painted bathroom beautifully!
Oh goodness, this comp is the ONLY way I could ever get my hot little hands onto some lush Missoni gear ;) x
OMG, love them
enter me in the draw, yes please!
Cassie
Safari Living is the first place I go to if I want to reward myself with something special! Missoni textiles, Dibbern porcelain and the leather bags and bangles are my favourite things.
How lovely, yes please!
mmmmmm misssoni- bathroom heaven!!!
I'd love to win those towels! I'd have to try save them as a pressie for the new house we're building though. I've sworn not to buy any new homeware until we move in :)
Would love to throw my hat in the ring for some Missoni loveliness. Thanks also for the fabulous blog Lucy – best part of my morning!
I'd love these in our bathroom!
Thanks for the offer, Lucy.

I got lost in that shop, I nearly grew a beard!

Pick me!
Ooooh, I've just moved in down the road from this gorgeous store – Missoni mat and hand towels would look fab in my all white bathroom!
Nothing brightens my day than a Missoni giveaway! I'm already onto the Safari online store!
Oh I love safari living!

Count me in! Would never miss a Missoni giveaway. YUM
Gosh, are you kidding? I would love a bit of Missoni in my life!
I spent yesterday redying the black Missoni bathmat that my mum spilt bleach on last week in a cleaning disaster. I think considering the bathmat has had such a tough week it would really appreciate some new friends, particularly ones as attractive as Ken. Not that the bathmat is shallow but it does tend to like to stick to hanging around with textiles of a similar background. They compliment each other!
Mee too mee too!!!! WE lilkey!
love missoni – and have added safari living to my list of 'when next in melbourne…' ideas.
It is very dangerous news to hear Safari Living is available online… love the extensive collection – gorgeous, thank you!
Oooh I would love to win these! Pick me :-D
My little girl Claudia turns two today and would love a new bathmat and hand towels. She chucked the last bathmat into the toilet bowl and tried to flush it away.
Too beautiful! I would really love to start the day using these;)
Okay Lucy here's the deal. I just sold my house. Which means I need to buy a new one. Which means I need to FURNISH a new one. Which means I am happy to base the entirety of said furnishing around the gorgeous Missoni stripe!
And hereby solemnly swear to send you the photos. Haha.

Hi Divine Design Files,
Please wrap me in a Missoni towel !

I would love to enter the draw for the Missoni pack!
Have been obsessed with Missoni for years… if i could fill my house with everything Missoni, i would definitely try! :) Who could go passed those bath robes as well!!
Lucy, if I win I'll give you 20 back rubs.
Things to note:
> My back rubs are awesome.
> I don't support bribes *cough*
x dana

Hiya, I have had these Missoni towels on my wish list for a long long time and somehow they keep getting topped by gas bills, parking fines and bulk nappies (yukko) so I would feel like a princess with these as a present.
Besides, ITS MY BIRTHDAY tomorrow!!!

Safari is the most gorgeous shop – fitting that they are sponsoring your equally as gorgeous blog! The best little place for beautiful unique homewares and gifts!

Comment!
Loving the Safari Online store…
I just lurve Safari Living great to hear we can now buy from the comfort of our homes; please, please let it be me!!
I have coveted these Missoni towels for ages and I desperately need them now to camouflage a DIY grouting disaster. Some things are best left to the professionals!
I love Missoni…and what I love even more is competitions to win Missoni goodies!!! I missed the Nov 3 write up on Safari so I am glad I read this post!! What a cute on-line shop!!
my new apartment bathroom so needs these…
I love Missoni…and what I love even more is competitions to win Missoni goodies!!! I missed the Nov 3 write up on Safari living so I am glad I read this post!! What a cute on-line shop!!
These would match my stripey shower curtain. I would definately like more stripes to funky up the bathroom!
Lovely article in the Melbourne Times
btw
xLiz
these Missoni goodies would go so fabulously with my newly renovated – yet sadly bare – bathroom!
me please,me!!!! : )
oh I love SAFARI LIVING…
I like to go and visit the shop often.. the only thing is im a uni student (studying interior decoration and design) so i cannot afford any of the fabulous products. it is very tempting to spend all of next months rent in there tho.
i think the missoni products would really liven up my dull bathroom. SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE choose me.
ps. your blog brings a smile to my face everyday. keep up the inspiring work.

Driving past Safari is always a visual treat even if I don't have time to stop I have time to look from the outside.
The Missoni towels often displayed in the side windows are my favourite items in the shop. So many beautiful colours and patterns and designs. Love them.
A few years ago Felicity donated some towels to my kids primary school fundraiser, but I was outbid the Silent Auction. Damn!
Oh dear, my little housie is in DESPERATE need of some fabulous Missoni eye candy in the bathroom. It's the only thing that could possibly draw the eye away from those horrid 70's mosaics and faux timber cabinetry. I have my fingers and toes all crossed!
Wonderful prize. Thanks for the chance to win!
I was just thinking how on my way home I need to swing by to but one of those large light bulb lamps for my bedroom. I LOVE Safari Living! Please pick me! I need new towles!
xxx elle
What a beautiful collection. The throws look fabulous as well. Will certainly be visiting next time I'm in Melb. Anne
So lovely!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE anything Missoni. Am on the hunt for some of their fabric at the moment. The bathmat and towels would certainly glam up our bathroom. Thanks to you and the girls at Safari for the opportunity to win a set. Cheers x
I am addicted to reading The Design Files for the inspiration it provides and the lovely giveways.
They are absolutely gorgeous!
Love it! How generous – please count me in!!
get me one of those table lights – whoever thought a simple light globe could look so good?! Good luck Safari Living with your online endeavours. I live for such shopping from my desktop once the kidlets are asleep. S x
Me me me! Forever a dream, not QUITE in line with my budget!
missoni towels are the best- fingers crossed!
OMG there are a lot of comments but I am feeling VERY lucky today :)
Oooh the colours – utter happiness in towel form!
Ahh if only I'd discovered their gift registry service before now. With our wedding coming up in 3 weeks and setting-up-house to ensue shortly after, we could sure use such delightful goodies to make magnifique our little love shack.
So happy to be number 144. But would be even happier to win a hand towel or two…?
Love your work! Yes, please. Would love a Missoni pep-me-up courtesy of you and Safari!

as a northerner i often dream of heading there but alas traffic and work always interfere so I'm super excited about the prospects of online shopping…

Faboulous Missoni Towels have been on my wish list forever!! Would love to enter the draw. Thank you :)
…just as i was about to buy myself a bathmat and a couple of hand towels, might just wait and see if i win this here competition first!! x
Love Safari, love a little Missoni!
Methinks Missoni would miraculously make my mundane bathroom marvellously magical. Mmmm, yes please. Thanks Safari Living and TDF. Annalisa
Lovely! Thank-you Missoni! Thank-you Safari Living!
Hi Lucy, well done on getting into the Melbourne Weekly!! :)
WOOP WOOP! Loving your work and generosity.

oh so excited! so excited! so excited!
if i don't win i may have to save my pennies for the bath mat!
My husband is an architect but that the closest I have been to designed furniture for a while. We are looking to buy our first home and I wouldn't mind some Missoni to add a bit of value! :)
Perfect. And given that the average mother of 2 small children spends about a million hours each year washing and drying hands, they'd provide many hours of enjoyment!
Oh, exciting. I want everything in the online store!
Over here, over here!! Hello??!!!
This is my hopeful comment!
OMG – have I made it? Love, love, love them.
hmmm.. up to 180 comments already in this giveaway! I'm sure I have a chance…..
:)
WOULD LOVE THEM. XX
yes…
