Georgie Love's items are made by hand and not in factories, usually from a range of recycled and vintage fabrics. We love all things produced ethically and locally.
Emma Grace
My work bridges the gap between fashion and art. With a degree in Visual Arts, my work is conceptually based with strong overtones of fashion and design. I draw inspiration from all around me - people, places, fashion and art, it is my own emotional response to these things which brings the work to life. In my creative process, I start with an idea of what I want to convey to my audience, then create the form to suit my personal style, so it...Read More & View Products
