I have over 25 years experience within the textile industry. My love of design, colour, exquisite textiles and the art behind haute couture lead me to study textile design. My knowledge of textiles and their wonders are shared with my customers in a professional, friendly and personal manner.

Great care is taken when choosing fabrics to cover a variety of textures and colours whilst following current European trends and keeping in mind my clients taste and needs.
