New York Magazine The Strategist 2024 Holiday Gift Guide

By: Coral & Tusk

 

November 2024
 
One of the best things about the Christmas growing up was the catalogs that came early and poring over everything you wanted to buy. We got that feeling again when we opened the new issue of New York Magazine with The Strategist's Holiday Gift Guide! To our excitement, they featured our limited edition Mushroom House and Woodland Guest set in the November issue!

 


  

"An all- felt embroidered creation that comes with four woodland creatures that seem very down for a tea party.” — the strategist

Check our their gorgeous gift guide and create your own tea party with the Mushroom House on our website!  

Born and raised in the Ohio Valley, Stephanie Housley studied textile design at RISD and worked as a professional interior textile designer in New York City. After fifteen years in the industry, Stephanie founded Coral & Tusk with a single embroidery machine in her Brooklyn apartment. With her strong design background, inherent resourcefulness and the initial help of her husband Chris Lacinak, Stephanie transformed her passion project into a well-loved brand and independent business.

As Coral & Tusk has evolved over the years, Stephanie’s hand-drawn, machine-embroidered illustrations remain the company’s connecting thread. In 2016, after nearly two decades living in New York, Stephanie and Chris relocated to Wyoming. They share their mountain home with their rescue dogs Fuji and Papi.

We always try to have an element of surprise so that there's a continued story to tell. Each of our pieces is about discovery.
