Eco Designer Overview on Meo Fusciuni by Sass Brown

Meo Fusciuni represent artisanal, hand crafted, ecological cutting edge design in the tradition of what I extol, admire, and applaud, although in an area of craft I don’t usually write about, that of artisanal perfume making. Meo Fusciuni is an artisanal, apothecary style perfume maker founded in 2009. The company was created from the alchemic mix of three people from three different cultures, with three different concepts and ideals of beauty. The artisanal line of perfumes is entirely…See More

Hi Sass,

Thank you for the comments. I will look for your book at the UAL library, I'm sure its an interesting read. Loving my current job profile at CFE. If you know any multinational/retailer trying to enter the eco/ethical market and is interested in sponsorships, do let me know. We have some lovely eco-fashion designers who are worth being associated with.

Are you based in London?

Hi Sass,

 

Talking about an image button/badge that I could put on my website which would click through to your site. Let me know!

 

Hope you're having a good week.

Hi Sass,

 

Thanks for the support. Do you have a button I could use?

Came across your book the other, very exciting stuff! Will be ordering a copy soon :)

hey Sass,

thanks for your comment .... the link actually did work 1/2 hour larter...maybe my computer had an issue....modern technology :)

i am really looking forward to your book - looks like it will be a great read...love the report with Peter at Noir....I am hoping to get in touch with him in regards to Bo Weevil and the Africa connection as part of my final studies. I am also doing my Masters in Ethical Fashion.

Hi Sass,
please do link to my site from your website.
Please note though - it's been running only for a few weeks truly productively, much time spent before on the technical stuff :/.
In addition of what is already available, I've got already a range of new articles/post ready to go online, of which all will be either thoroughly researched like the ones already up, or then - with LFW and Paris Ethical Fashion Show coming up - reports from what I see/hear/encounter on site.
Overall, the goal is to provide high quality content around ethical fashion and associated topics, chiefly from a (social) business / market research perspective.

For more on my background, please also have a look at my LinkedIn page: http://uk.linkedin.com/in/pamelaravasio

On a different account. I've seen that you are based in Florence.
It happens that I very likely will be in Florence to meet a friend of mine from, probably, October 23 to 25. Any chance you might be in town, and have time for a cup of coffee?

Warm regards,
Pamela

Hi Sass,

Thank you for all!
That is really kind of you and much appreciated.

How are you finding Florence?
Few years ago I lived in Orvieto and, whilst there, I have been up to Florence twice. I LOVED it! The people and place is full of excitement and interesting things to see and learn. Is it for real or only my first impression? lolololo

Once again, thank you so much and whenever you are in London, please let me know and let's try meeting up. Xx
