“Who Made Your Clothes?”

My second most favourite Dress that was created in the past year, Española Dress. . It easily traverses the seasons and can be Dressed Up or Down depending on where you are Travelling ; )) (just saying) . Made with love by some very special Artisans, did you know each one can take 3 weeks to Crochet each part of the Dress together? . I send mine to the laundry in a pillow case, tied tightly. As its 100% cotton it comes out beautifully after every wash x . With love from Mexico xx
Imagine being wrapped up in this 100% Lambswool Blanket, created on a foot pedal loom as they have been done for millennia. . Snug and warm on these chilly nights, your animals will love you as they stack on top to give you much more warmth. . Choose yours online, they are called the "Shaggy Lambswool Blanket", take advantage of the free post on every order within Australia *-*
Take a closer look, the stock my Artisans create cannot be duplicated or copied, the uniqueness is never easily duplicated. . Because this item is entirely made by hand and the fakes are just that, i know you can tell the difference. . Made with love in México *_*
Tepache with the locals. Its Sunday in Mexico and i'm doing what i have done for 22 years here in Mexico, off to the local Artisan Markets to feed my soul and mix with the Indigenous people of Oaxaca. . Being a Marketteer since i was 17 means that i am in my element amongst those that work so hard to create and sell at the Markets, here in Oaxaca often the seller has travelled some way with their produce offering the incredible variety Mexicos markets have to offer, their produce sustains them for the next week once it is Sold, i still have fond memories of yesterdays market and can't wait to get out to todays, sadly as my phone was stolen last week i cannot give you an update thru "my stories" . i hope your Sunday is spectacular with love from Mexico xxx
I love creating unique designs for you with the Artisans i work with. . This Strawberry Skirt is one of a kind, its called the Flamenco Skirt Online and made with up-cycled light indigo dyed back strap loomed fabric. I hand pick the fabrics to go with each design i have created, we have so much fun choosing and working together, i can't wait to do it all again x . Please PM me if you would like to purchase this one and check the other beautiful fabrics this Flamenco Skirt comes in for you. Just add a Sophie 3/4 sleeve blouse, Jacket, Scarf and Boots x . With love from Mexico, What are you doing this weekend, are you creating anything beautiful? *-*
A little Weekend inspiration by the Women that Weave, Sew & Crochet the products i have been buying since 1997. Espanola Dress & S J Kaftan . I had the pleasure of bumping into some suppliers last weekend, it was by chance we were in the same Town at the same time, working with Artisans for so many years means i have the pleasure of visiting the Towns, Homes and Familes we are linked by a common interest and a love for genuine Hand Made Textiles, its not something you can shake off its in your blood or not, i combine my love of travel with my 40 years in the Rag Trade to bring to you these genuine products made with love. . This week i have been inundated with emails and tags and articles to read about the appropriation of @carolinaherrera Thank You to all of you who know that this is always something that riles me, cultural appropriation is evident everyday in my Industry its a shame that so many "DESIGNERS" think that you would be silly enough to believe that they have thought of this themselves, this year for some reason it has been more prolific. . Please consider who you are buying from it will make a huge difference to those who have spent hours creating it for you. . With love from México
Just a snippet of my weekend in Oaxaca de Juarez before my phone was snatched from my hands by a very brave robber. . This was someone else's Birthday Party i dearly wish to duplicate for my own with 6 Oaxaca Dancing Queens and a 10 piece Brass Band. . The participants were warm enough to keep offering me drinks and food but i was really just there to enjoy the spectacle in front of the Church and watch these beautiful Women preform, i was nearly in tears, such joy and adoration they imbue in me as they honour their culture and i verify my 2 decades of dedication to their Craft and Culture, a work that keeps giving back to me xxxxx
Hugette is one of my most versatile dresses, created with one of a kind Back Strap Loomed Indigo and an individual hand picked Vintage Huipil it can be worn layered up underneath and on top, when the Weather is hard to determine, just add Boots, Tights, Long sleeve Top, Jacket, Scarf.... . These creations are indestructible as you may have previously heard, and i adore travelling in mine. . Available online and from @foldbrighton & @habitat_byronbay . With love form Oaxaca, im off to visit Artisans today xxxx
