    Hi Barbara, how would you like to add my sheep to your collection?
    A few years ago I exhibited at Salone del Guston in Torino and took some scarves I had made up in 'Italian' designs- Juve and Torino. Since then Ive added Rossoneri, Nerazzuri and Puccini. The rationale behind them is to harness the tribalism of football supporters with fashion to produce a unique range of ethical products. A % of the profits goes to help set up and fund womens co-operatives in Africa. Is this something that might interest you?
