Meet the maker

For those of you who are interested, here is a short bit about Heiress Apparent. Heiress Apparent the company, was born on 09 09 09 – it seemed like a good date choice at the time. It’s a small designer maker studio based in Worcestershire.

I am an artist/designer specialise in utilising and reworking vintage fabrics, screen and Gocco printing and custom creations. The items range from the small stocking filler gifts that won’t break the bank to custom furniture pieces that take considerable man hours to produce.

Sum Heiress Apparent up in a nutshell = Quirky, beautiful things with a vintage twist for the eco-conscious style minded.

Sum me up in a rather larger nutshell = I love anything vintage. I spend an inordinate amount of time trawling ebay for vintage finds, car boot sales at unearthly hours, flea markets, jostling with the elderly at jumble sales and sitting patiently in auction houses for that dream lot. I’ve worked in the creative industries for the last 18 years - i’ve been a graphic designer, a director of music videos and TV commercials, a film-maker, an animator, an artist and have settled with utilising my love for vintage and making things, oh and i’m currently writing two books … slowly.
