As another year comes to a close, we’re reflecting on what we’re grateful for and the special moments that made up 2025. We created new embroidered designs, launched exciting collaborations, and went on a trip of a lifetime! Every season brought something memorable and to be thankful for.

This year, we shipped orders to 28 countries and had our products stocked in 280 stores around the globe. Thank you for all of your support this year. We could not have done it without you!

Here’s a look back at our year, one season at a time!

WINTER

We started the year off with love and celebration! We decorated for Valentine’s Day with our best-selling designs inspired by love and friendship, and welcomed the Year of the Snake with our new embroidered Garter Snake design.

Stephanie was a guest on The Collector’s Gene podcast, sharing details about her personal collections and creative process. You can listen to her episode HERE.

In the early months of 2025 we also introduced our Birdhouse Tissue Box cover (which was a runaway hit!) and our new Spring 2025 collection. Our spring collection included new Easter products, cats and dogs designs, and accessories.

SPRING

This spring, we returned to Japan for the fifth time! Stephanie was joined by Asumi, our Japanese Account Manager. They celebrated creative collaborations years in the making and connected with friends and collectors. 

Their first stop was in Osaka for our TRUCK Furniture collaboration. Stephanie and Asumi then traveled to Kobe for a book signing event for In Stitches: The Enchanted World of Coral & Tusk. Next, they visited Kyoto, to spend time with friends, including Yoriko Hoshi, the creator of Nekomura san. Their trip ended in Tokyo, with events at H.P. France and Atelier, celebrating the launch of our Antipast sock collaboration and Orne de Feuilles pet bed collaboration.

Behind the scenes this spring, we put together a project we’re really looking forward to in 2026, our first children’s book: ABC: An Animal Alphabet Adventure.

SUMMER

This summer, we announced ABC: An Animal Alphabet Adventure, our very first children’s book! The book will be released in March 2026, and we could not be more excited. Watch this space! 

We were busy in the studio photographing our 2025 Fall and Holiday collections. Our team headed upstate to The Upstate Stone House to capture our festive collection in images.

In August, we introduced some of our favorite new items, including our storybook-inspired Three Little Bears pocket pillow and the newest felt friend to join our flock, Owlet of Curiosity. We ended the summer with the introduction of our Halloween collection, our favorite way to usher in Fall!

FALL

We spent the better part of this year preparing something very exciting, and this fall we finally launched it… our new and improved website! In September, we unveiled a website redesign with new product photography, page design, typography, and more. Along with the new website, we introduced our Fall and Holiday 2025 collection. The new collection included our Wheat Harvest table linens and Christmas Donkey embroideries.

The season also looked ahead: We photographed our forthcoming Spring Summer 2026 collection in Brooklyn, NY. We can’t wait to show you in the new year!

Stephanie also chatted with the hosts of A Life Creative Podcast, where she discussed how she started Coral & Tusk, and shared insights into how she designs new collections and runs the business. You can listen to the episode HERE.

We were also surprised to see our name mentioned in the New York Times by none other than Marie Kondo! When asked what books are on her nightstand, Marie Kondo said, “In Stitches: The Enchanted World of Coral & Tusk, the brand book from the embroidery company I adore.” What a way to close out this wonderful year!

Thank you for all of your support this year! Thank you for every purchase, for engaging with our social media posts, and for following along. We truly appreciate all your support and cannot do what we love without you! We can’t wait to see what 2026 brings!
