for brave people

Every person, every body is unique. I believe our clothes should be too.

I am self taught (perfectly imperfect!) and started making clothes for myself at 16, when I couldn’t fit into standardised shop sizes. I was ‘too big’ there and ‘too small’ here. Being a dancer and a gymnast from an early age, I needed clothes that were made to fit me, my body and my movement.

I found I could do this for others too.
I make clothes to make people feel good.
Clothes that look good, and do good.

I love designing swimwear, activewear and clothing that helps people move and be free.

the bigger picture

I am passionate about giving back and making a difference to the world we live in. I am very conscious of the environmental impact that the fashion industry has on the planet and to make my own impact as little as possible.

I don’t over buy and make sure to use as much as I can from all the fabric I purchase
I recycle fabric and welcome any unwanted fabrics, thread and elastic you would like to pass on
I create small items such as face masks and scrunchies from all the off cuts that cannot be used for anything else

Facemasks £6 + p&p
include a slot for a filter, and soft elastic loops for comfort

Scrunchies £4 + p&p

I donate 50% of all proceeds I receive from the sales of face masks and scrunchies to charity, and am over the moon that so far I (and my lovely customers!!) HAVE RAISED £814 SO FAR! which has been shared amongst the following charities and causes close to my heart:

Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust (instagram)
Black Minds Matter UK (instagram)
Alzheimers Society (instagram)
Lebanese Red Cross (Instagram)
