From a young age I have always loved the process of making my own clothes – choosing the patterns, colours, wool and fabrics. This mindful craft, fun and individual, to me is the basis of what slow fashion represents. Having been brought up with concept of buying (and saving up for!) the best you can afford, I was taught to buy well, quality lasts, and try to build a collection of clothes that is timeless. Working for a high-end knitwear company in London’s iconic department stores, dealing with the best cashmere, wool and silks, developed my appreciation of fine materials.
One of these iconic stores, Liberty of London, has remained a firm favourite. I love the continuing story….the history, the building, the haberdashery department, the fabrics – trips to Liberty of London have been a lifetime constant. The Liberty scarf is also iconic and the excitement over a new scarf discovery never diminishes.
And so here I am now, at Suze Selects. Curated and handpicked pieces following the simple concept of buy less – buy well, a collection reflecting my love of beautiful and functional pieces to cherish. The finest British Knitwear made exclusively for Suze Selects, vintage and preloved silk scarves and exquisite gifts made in the UK. Timeless style, wearable works of art, extraordinary British heritage – all to treasure.
I would love you to follow my discoveries as they unfold – your wardrobe will thank you.
