Calling all Ethical Accessory Designers...

[Maiya]

Next year I will be launching my
ethical womenswear label and via my website I would like to stock
complementary ethical/eco accessory collections.

Here is a bit about me... For the past 3 years I co-designed/directed the ethical
womenswear label si:su with two friends; had a great time/success with
UK and European stockists/buyers and showed at The Ethical Fashion Show
in Paris and Clothes Show Live in Birmingham NEC amongst others. We've
decide to go our separate ways now and because womenswear was always my
passion, I'm in the process of launching my own solo label - just need
to think of a new name! The designs are with the pattern cutters as I
write. I am based in Swansea, UK.

I'm going to launch the site next year (and my label for A/W 2011), but am keen to chat to designers and organise the accessory labels
that I plan to promote through my website in good time.

My label will have a vintage feel with a modern twist. My main inspirations come from the 40s and the
80s.

Do you have any UK distribution deals or retail stockists currently? Could you email me any wholesale and/or distribution agent
information/prices/pdf catalogues you have for your collections please.

Initially,
I am looking to run trial periods of two fashion seasons/collections
with my chosen external jewellery/accessories labels - via drop
shipping.

I will also be looking to borrow pieces for a shoot this Autumn/Winter - both to use to style my outfits and create new photos of
your collections for use on my website. Although, if you have your own
photographs then I am more than happy to use those for promo.


I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Helen

Dear Helen,
I am very interested in your new label. I currently have my own jewelry label and would love to be involved with your new project. I create jewelry using glass and silver combined. A lot of my glass and silver is reclaimed or recycled. I am flexible with design styles and can create on any theme you want. Please take a look at my member’s page, as there are examples of both you can browse. I also have a web page you can take a look at. - www.lookingglasssilver.com.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks,
Launa Cresswell. [e-mail]
