• Labours of Love
  

  Labours of Love is a collection of woven fabrics designed for fashion, inspired by traditional handcraft skills such as patchwork and quilts, cross-stitch embroidery and tapestry, as well as hand weaving. Colour plays a vital and dominating role in the creation of three stories within the collection, ranging from fresh and fruity bright tones through to muted leafy greens, paler pastels and neutrals, with echoes of nostalgia in the faded quality of the well worn.
