Collaborations

Adding Value Instead of Discounts for Alex Monroe The team at UK jewellery maker, Alex Monroe were looking for an alternative to offering discounts on Black Friday. They wanted to offer customers a beautiful travel pouch for holding their jewellery. After some discussion, we created a beautiful blue velvet purse with a brass zip. The team at Alex Monroe suggested involving Emma Giacalone, a Gloucestershire based textile artist, to embroider a beautiful signature Alex Monroe bumble bee and logo in gold thread on each purse. Within two weeks, the production schedule was agreed, and the first 100 pouches were finished, quality checked and sent off. It’s a great example of how creative people, working together can produce beautiful things. For Alex Monroe click here.

Slow Stitching With Rebekah Johnston We've created two Slow Stitched Craft Kits with textile artist, Rebekah Johnston, who creates quilted textiles that explore themes of emotional wellbeing. The craft kits are designed for adults, to stitch by hand and contain all the materials needed to create either a mini quilt or a set of 4 coasters. Rebekah uses a video to gently share her expertise. The process is designed to be calm and meditative and is a lovely way to develop an interest in quilting, using fabric cutting room offcuts of linen, to help us minimise waste. The final pieces can be practical pieces for use at home or art for the wall
