Ella, our founder, learned to sew from her Oma, her Dutch grandmother. But it’s a dying art. Today, three-quarters of Brits can't even fix a button. Yet the desire is there – we all want to feel more self-sufficient, creative, and less reliant on the fast fashion cycle.

Taking time out to be creative and complete hands on projects is an escape from the fast-paced digital world, providing a sense of mindfulness and stress relief. Whether it’s repetitive motions darning a hole, or hemming trousers to the perfect length, solving your clothing problems also allows you to take time for yourself.
