🔫Lou Lou Cameron🔫 ✨👶🏼👶🏽🎨✒️🎨👶🏾👶🏼✨ Lou Lou Cameron started Love from Lupin in 2018, when an idea to add a bit of colour and fun to her daughter’s nursery with some personalised coat hangers caught the attention of friends and family. It wasn’t long before Lou Lou was hand decorating hundreds of hangers each month which now add colourful character to bedrooms, nurseries, play rooms and boot rooms across the UK and further afield. The addition of personalised canvas duffle bags made Love from Lupin a “go to” shop for birthday, Christmas, Christening and New Baby gifts. The hangers are also popular for wedding outfits and bridesmaid and page boy keepsakes. The aim was to be able to offer original and playful designs which you can mix and match to your heart’s content and with no minimum order it means there is something to fit every budget, making them accessible to everyone. All the hangers are decorated by hand in Lou Lou's home studio in North Yorkshire where she lives with her husband, two children, cocker spaniel, horses, cows and sheep. The local flora and fauna was the initial inspiration for the hanger range which started with bumble bees, ladybirds, leaves, roses, daisies, strawberries, butterflies and ducks. Inspired by the illustrations in children's books, the range has expanded quickly to incorporate all the things loved by children including tractors, trains, dinosaurs, safari animals, unicorns, hot air balloons, boats and soldiers to name a few.

🔫 Sasha Compton🔫 🖼🖍 👩🏼‍🎨 🎨 🖌✏️ 🎨 @sashacompton_design Originally from North Yorkshire, Sasha is a British contemporary artist currently based in Amsterdam. She is inspired by the beauty of nature and the wonders of life. Her mixed-media artwork is colourful, feminine and expressive. Sasha’s work has a positive lens on life, focusing on imperfections and embracing individual character. "In today's world, there is so much pressure to be perfect; growing up I often looked at my body and saw what was wrong instead of seeing what was right. My work is about confidence, reassurance and embracing the differences. I use unpredictable creative methods, such as lino printing or watercolours. These materials seem to have a life of their own which I love. It’s all about those imperfections that give an artwork its own character, as if each piece has its own personality." As well as being inspired by nature, another focal point of Sasha's is connecting old and new: classical themes in contemporary forms. Sasha has always been an admirer of beautiful architecture and whilst travelling around Italy, her interest in Renaissance art came into full bloom. These themes are also present in her work but with a modern twist. Sasha went to Central St. Martins, specialising in Illustration and then Chelsea College of Art for a degree in Graphic Design. She has worked in various areas of the creative industry for 6 years as a Designer. Her artwork is handmade from her home studio with love.

🔫 India Clevely🔫 @londonvelvet 💼 👛🎒 India founded the brand with her great friend Marina as a reaction to the ‘buy now, wear quickly’ trend that they could see my generation starting to adopt. They didn’t want to look like a carbon copy of all there friends, so she started exploring the idea of making unique, second-to-none pieces that have often been described as wearable art. From the perfect birthday present to a piece that’ll become the bible of all of your thoughts, I’m proud that London Velvet is a one-of-a-kind brand on a mission. Sustainability is a core component of what they do and in a bid to undo the detrimental damage that the world of fast fashion has done on the planet, each piece is made to order – so no material is wasted, no bulk fabric is ordered and nothing ends up in landfill. India works closely with some of the most renowned and skilled artisans in Turkey and her own background in design means that she takes enormous pleasure in the process of curating and designing pieces for a client. Whatever you’re in the market for, India hopes that London Velvet can be a part of your story. Follow and buy 👉🏼 @londonvelvet

🔫 Emma Thornton🔫 🩳🦀🩳🦀🩳🦀🩳🦀🩳🦀🩳🦀🩳 🦀 🩳 🦀 Emma Thornton, the founder of @Crabandlittle the comfiest men’s swim shorts EVER! Fitting for a brand that’s all about happy sunny days, Crab & Little’s first sidesteps into the world were made in the South of France. Emma was working as a chef in a villa on the Cote D’Azur, though meals were always interrupted by the boys complaining about sitting in their itchy swimwear. How, Emma wondered, might swim shorts feel if they were designed to sit in as well as to swim in, and began her quest to find seam-free, skin-soft mesh. When she finally found it, she christened it Netslix. It’s at the heart of every pair of Crab & Little swim shorts. Emma who studied as a Graphic Designer, designed bright, zesty prints to evoke sunshine-filled, happy days and hand-picked clever quick-drying fabrics for the softiest, flexible comfort. Launching in May 2020, Crab & Little is now all set to side-step into your suitcase. Your skin will thank you for it, and lunches just got longer.... Follow👉🏼 @crabandlittle
