In August 2025, my request for flexible working was denied - a moment that quietly changed everything. I found myself torn between two deep needs: to be present for my baby while she was still so young, and to hold onto my sense of self beyond motherhood.

​

I chose to see it as a sign. I left my job and stepped into self-employment, creating space to build a life that felt more aligned.

​

Since graduating in 2020 with an MA in Fashion Design, I had always dreamed of starting my own brand, but nothing ever truly clicked - until one small, defining moment shifted my perspective and sparked something new.

​

That moment became the beginning of everything.

​

It started with a single piece. I made a pair of ruffle-hem trousers for my daughter from an old shirt and, on a whim, listed them online. They sold within an hour - and that small spark quickly grew into something more.

​

Now, I create handmade children’s trousers that are colourful, playful, and full of personality - from checks and gingham to stripes and ric-rac trims. Each piece is one of a kind, designed to feel special and entirely its own.

​

Having already sold over 40 pairs, it means so much to see people connecting with something I’ve poured my heart into.

​

This is just the beginning, and I’m so excited to see where this journey leads — one handmade pair of trousers at a time.
