Support and sponshorship for my participation in the Environmental Justice Foundaton's Great Fashion Cycle, September 2009
About me / About business or organisation:
I've had an interest in fashion and aesthetics since I can remember and, as an ethics- and environment-conscious shopper, I felt that I had landed in a slice of ethical-fashion heaven when I arrived in London. There's almost too much to enjoy here - I've got to reign myself in! Things I love - great vegetarian food and an excellent meal out, Gwiz electric cars (I want a red one and I'll call it Lipstick), yoga and fitness - as you shall see, I'm signed up to ride 300-miles from London to Paris, I need to be fit! And of course, music, my other much loved companion in life.
Career history / Company history:
In brief: Fine Art degree, my final exhibition was on the fashion industry and its effect on the health of women (it was inspired by Camille Paglia's Sexual Personae - a wonderful book); time touring as a bassist in rock bands; a stint in television; a long and much loved stint in environmental and educational radio production; became a yoga teacher and globe traveller; then worked for a vegan shoe company in London; and now as the event manager for a yoga company. Its been a long journey!

Thanks so much for the positive feedback. So delighted you like the Collection.
Unfortunately, we don't have any vegan bags- as yet! My primary driver is to help those who produce my bags in a city with a population in excess of 15 million and where poverty is extreme.
I work with the resources of my production unit, who are a 'not for profit' organisation and who are members of IFAT. They are constantly looking to improve on their current supply base and with my help, I hope we can introduce organic and vegan ranges in the future.
Keep in touch and thanks so much for the input. I really do value it.
