It started with a pencil line. ✏️🧵
An idea in my sketchbook, a beautiful piece of British tweed, a pattern cut by hand… and slowly, a jacket began to take shape.
I’ve always loved seeing a design travel from imagination to something you can actually touch and wear. The cutting, matching the checks, shaping the lapels, constructing each section and finally seeing the finished piece come together — this is the part of fashion I never tire of.
This jacket was designed with a strong, feminine silhouette: statement lapels, a softly shaped waist and a belt that allows the wearer to change the way she styles it.

For me, slow fashion is not simply about making fewer clothes. It is about giving thought, skill and time to the clothes we choose to make — and creating pieces worth keeping.
Designed by me. Handcrafted in London. Made to be worn for years. ❤️
