Gertrude Anna

Patchwork Gertrude Anna bags

Gertrude Anna is an exciting new design company run by Mr. Timmy White. Named after and inspired by his granny Gerty, Timmy models his company on the make do and mend philosophy of yesteryear with a modern twist. Sourcing different vintage fabrics and embellishments each design is a one-off (I'm particularly enjoying the Star Wars bag) which makes it that wee bit more special! This is only a small sampling of his work! Having a creative background in interior and set design Timmy also re-styles furniture and makes retro cushions click here to see the rest.

What I like most about his work is that you can clearly see the detailed quality and craftsmanship that has gone into making each piece - inspiring to see! His stock will be appearing in a few shops soon so watch this space.....

Jacob Street Boutique Promo Shots & Press

A few promo shots for Jacob Street Boutique which opened its doors earlier this month!

Nestled nicely and situated in Bedeck (basement) on the Lisburn Road it offers unique homewares, beautiful vintage clothing and designer jewellery all at an affordable cost. This has been one of my favourite creative projects to work on so far! The owner - Maureen Collins is an experienced interior designer/stylist and has an eye for quirky and unusual pieces (which she has personally sourced and commissioned) combining them to create a fresh eclectic look. It is definitely worth having a nosey, even for some inspiration. I've spied many interesting items including glass bell jars, toile fabrics and a Chinese lacquered cabinet shown below in this Irish News article -
