Textile Designer

Poppy Treffry

Poppy in her studio

Poppy Treffry makes a range of handbags, purses, brooches and tea cosies using freehand machine embroidery and appliqué.

The designs are inspired by her drawings of her native Cornwall and by her regular travels abroad.

Combining stitch with a variety of fine, found and vintage fabrics, Poppy transforms the otherwise mundane and disposable, into colourful, individual and desirable textiles for the home.

Poppy’s base is in the coastal town of Newlyn, Cornwall, renowned for its vibrant and historic creative energy as much for its fishing and beautiful scenery.

Jeanne Pacella

Chicago born Jeanne Pacella, began her fashion career specialising in hand-painted rubber jewellery and unique lace corsets.

Now focusing on the minute detail of decoration, she describes her new venture - Bellapacella - as “breaking free from the confines of corsetry, and celebrating design freedom”.

With parts of vintage jewellery, discarded objects and a variety of materials, Jeanne injects new life into old, creating witty, glamorous and romantic pieces of original decoration.

Textile Designer

Claire Broughton

Claire Broughton gained a Masters Degree in Textile Design at Bath Spa University and designs an exclusive range of bags, purses and jewellery from hand-dyed fabrics.

Claire then weaves her magic onto the surface of the textile using vintage buttons, antique lace which she also dyes herself.

Inspired by the theme of ‘Memory’ her pieces are practical collector’s pieces and the bags are beautiful objects to carry with you at all times.
