- My primary role in relation to fashion is:
- Designer, Manufacturer
- I am looking to discover or buy
- interact with likely minded people and exchange creative yet ethical ideas.
- About me / About business or organisation:
- I have always had an attraction to beautiful textiles, buttons and vintage, rummaging in charity/thrift store and flea markets and car boot sales for the next treasures is one of my favourite past times. With a creative eye I have begun to create upcycled totes/bags from fabric remnants and textiles. Each bag is unique and fully reversible, one bag can be constructed from once a bedspread, a pair of once loved denim jeans, a belt as handles. another can be a reincarnation of a duvet cover, deluxe fabric swatches remnants and exquisite vintage buttons..... sometimes I painstakingly chose textiles that complement each other ,other times that totally contrast, depends on the mood of the day.....
- Career history / Company history:
- after 22 years working in the client services industry I am finally pursuing my calling and creative demeanor, making eco-bags from my atelier in the leafy suburbs of West London. No previous fashion training at all but lots of enthusiasm and a keen eye for ethical style.
