Brought up in Brighton surrounded by antique shops and dressed in jumpers made by my grandmother, I developed a love for traditional crafts and collecting vintage treasures.
A 1st class honours degree in textiles at Central St Martins combined with the time I spent in Ireland working with fashion designer John Rocha, enabled me to explore and develop my love of traditional Irish crafts. From lace making and crochet to Aran knitting and knot work, the fascinating stories and history behind each craft never cease to inspire.
This combined with the nostalgic roots that I have towards Brighton and my childhood have formed the backbone of my collections.
