Profile Information:

Profession / role:: Founder of British Eco fashion label, Quail
Company / organisation:: Quail
Website (if you have one):: www.quailbymail.co.uk
My primary role in relation to fashion is:: Designer, Retailer, Supplier, Manufacturer, Consultant
I am looking to discover or buy: Short term retail pitches in high profile places, selling fabric that I can spare to fans of ethical fashion
About me / About business or organisation:: I operate a British eco ethical fashion label in the southwest of England called Quail. I call Quail British because we manufacture in Devon. We're eco because we specialise in organic cotton and use recycled, vintage and antique fabrics and we're ethical because we source organic cotton which is also Fairtrade.
Career history / Company history:: I founded the Quail fashion label after years of working in the creative industries and not being satisfied how 'the big picture' worked. Quail was launched in 2007 after a year-long sabbatical researching eco/ethical fashion. In 2009 I became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts as recognition for mentoring fashion students and speaking about Fairtrade cotton and Fairtrade in the fashion industry at schools and organisations.
