When you hold one of my bags, pouches, or cardholders, you’re not just holding fabric and thread. You’re holding a series of small decisions: slow, intentional ones made long before the first stitch ever happens.
1. Finding the Fabric
Everything begins with fabric.
Most of it is sourced locally (because touching the material matters), and sometimes I pick pieces up while travelling; the kind you notice instantly across a shop and can’t walk away from.
I don’t choose prints by trend or season. I choose by feeling.
If a fabric keeps pulling my attention back, that’s the one.
All fabrics are 100% cotton. I stick to this on purpose. It ages well, feels good in your hands, and gives structure without feeling stiff or plasticky.
2. Deciding What It Wants to Be
Before cutting anything, I spend time deciding what the fabric should become.
Not every print suits every form.
Some need to be structured - perfect for cardholders.
Some need softness - better for pouches that will be handled constantly.
Others need durability - ideal for bags that carry your daily life.
3. Cutting & Sewing
Then comes the actual making.
Each piece is measured, marked, and cut by hand. No pre-cut kits, no mass templates.
After that, everything goes through my trusty sewing machine; layer by layer, slowly assembled into something functional.
This stage takes the longest.
Small items are deceptively complicated. The neater it looks, the more steps it usually took.
4. The Final Identity
Once assembled, every item is finished with my shop label. The moment it officially becomes part of the collection.
It’s a small detail, but an important one.
It says: this was made intentionally by someone, not just produced.
5. Why I Keep Prices Affordable
I price my textile pieces the same way I price my handcrafted jewellery: carefully.
Beautiful fabrics shouldn’t feel exclusive.
Handcrafted shouldn’t mean unreachable.
The goal has always been simple:
to let people own something thoughtfully made, from quality materials, without feeling like they have to “save it for a special occasion.”
