Photo Shoot

Last week I took the time out to have some professional pics taken of some of my latest range (more will be revealed very soon). It is something that always seems to be either too time consuming or too expensive to do when you have a small business but it is definitely worth it - plus I enlisted a model at a very reasonable rate! The shot above is taken in the laneway outside of Ironside Studios which is the perfect backdrop for the peacock satchel design. Photography is by Stephen Damen.

Take a peack

Many moons ago (so it seems) Thea and Sami had a conversation with Lyssy May about creating some bespoke fabric designs and after a lot of excited email exchanges I am happy to announce that the beginnings of the collaboration are now available in the form of either the denim satchel above or cord tote below.

My brief to Thea was - 'something with peacocks and a retro feel' and the design she created was spot on and way beyond my expectations! I have more designs to come using a larger single placement print of the design but I really do love the repeat created with the birds facing each other and their tails overlapping. The denim satchel is a fave of mine in the collection as I love the way Thea has printed on the reverse of the denim which I then used for the flap.

The tote is in black and red cord which Thea experimented with using to great effect. The bag above has a panel strip on one side and is in all its repeat glory on the opposite side. Visit the latest collection page at Lyssy May to click on either design for more details.
