African Selection

In mid 2013, a lovely customer got in touch with me to say that he had a vintage African Wax Cotton fabric that had been long needing a new life. I was commissioned to make it into a bow tie and I have forever since been lusting after the beautiful and original prints. 

It is almost impossible to find African fabric in Edinburgh, but thankfully my brother found me some seriously bold and enviable prints in London. 

I will be adding more pieces over the coming weeks but I thought I would ease the injection of colour in slowly with some cushions and bow ties. It is definitely a step out of my pale pastel comfort zone, but what better way to step into Spring than with a serious dose of COLOUR. You can also now find our accessories listed on Etsy, we want to meet more indie lovers and creators so come and say hi! 

You can see the new items now live in the online shop X marks the spot. 

Thanks to my most stylish Tweeter BonGarcon for sending me the original Wax Cotton and inspiring this selection.

Birds or Bees?

Have you seen the new products that have landed in the online shop? We have introduced a selection of home wares to the boutique and hope to have more pieces for you soon. 

In the meantime, have a pillow fight! 

Lucky Liquor Pop Up

At the end of the month I will be packing up my home studio and invading the basement of Edinburgh's stylish cocktail bar, Lucky Liquor Co for a two day Gentleman’s Pop Up Shop/Studio.

You will have the chance to come in and have a bow tie made to order. Peruse prints and accessories by talented local designers and illustrators. Learn how to mix your own cocktails and sample the in house ale. We will also have our men’s range, and will be introducing our new fabric design, for sale and on display. 

Hope to see you there!

1st Birthday!

A year ago today, me and my husband sat in our studio and, with a lot of nerves and a lot of excitement, clicked a button to open the doors to my exclusive online boutique. 

In that year I have had an amazing response to the collection and was recently awarded the Regional Runners Up Prize for the Best Young Business in Scotland!! We have received fantastic press coverage and, most importantly, have had fantastic feedback from YOU. 

As a thank you to my customers, old and new, I am offering FREE SHIPPING for the week and I may even add some discounts in too. 

To claim your reward, please enter the code "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" at checkout. 

Thanks for a great year and Happy First Birthday Fiona Heather!

Haute Cature

So what happens when you run into your friend who works as a magazine editor and drink one too many cocktails? You end up agreeing to make clothes for a feline fashion show that's what. 

After a "hillarious" email back and forth we were ready to offer up our customer faves, in cat size, to the talent. Sadly, Miss Kitty was a bit of a diva and not in the zone on the selected day. No amount of cat treats and coaxing could get her to pose properly, this was the only image that DNAnderson was able to get. There is a Fiona Heather birdy collar under all that fluff we promise! 

Anyway, it was a lot of fun. We made a lot of cat related jokes and we will be recasting with a more suitable candidate soon. You can see more of the kitty pieces and other behind the scenes teasers if you follow us on Instagram!
