So many Animalesque weddings over the years — from styled shoots to real, wild-love elopements.

It’s such a joy to be part of these moments of gathering and see the headdresses come to life ❤️

If you’re planning your own wedding or elopement and want to bring a touch of mischievous charm to your day, do get in touch — I’d love to create something uniquely yours ✨

✨ Happy New Year — a little late ✨

I needed some time to gently unfurl into 2026, and as I’ve been easing into this new year, I realised what a meaningful moment this is…

2026 marks 15 years of Animalesque! YIKES!

Fifteen years of sewing animals, weaving stories, experimenting and collaborating - across theatre, dance, festivals, film, photoshoots, and so many unforgettable moments! So this year feels like the right time to look back, celebrate, clear and make space for new beginnings.

Over the coming months I’ll be revisiting past collections and releasing curated archive edits — old classics, one-off samples, experiments, and extras from special projects - some of which won’t be returning once they’re gone.

If there’s a particular animal or design you’ve been hoping to see again, tell me now - I’ll be taking your favourites into consideration as
I curate the year ahead.

Thank you for being part of this wondrous adventure so far — here’s to celebrating whats been, and making space for what’s next 🥳

From my studio to your home…

The animalesque creations are hand-drawn, hand-printed, and handmade here in my studio in Cornwall. I carefully piece together fabrics for each piece from my collections of vintage, reclaimed, and organic textiles and haberdashery — choosing colours, textures, and patterns that bring each unique piece to life.

Every piece is made with love, and made to be loved and treasured for years to come.

Thanks for all your Halloween orders so far!
I’ve been busy in the studio making and more of your favourite birds and beasts for Halloween dress-ups, and enjoying hearing about your party themes and costume ideas. Keep them coming! 🦁🐆🦅🐈‍⬛✨

One of my favourite parts of the making process is delving into my textile collections and pulling out fabrics to line and compliment each headdress. This always transports me to the wonderful places I’ve collected from - Ridley Road and Goldhawk Road in London, the Pink City streets of Jaipur, the desert lands and textile communities of Kutch, The Royal Opera House wardrobes and other exciting textile collaborations - I’m so lucky to have these reminders of the people and stories behind each and every piece of fabric and I love weaving them into my designs.

Here are the lions, tigers and leopards being sewn and lined. A small batch of these are now available again from the shop.

Don’t miss our recommended Halloween order deadlines …
