PHAEDRA

Simple handmade clothing for everyday wear

* * * * *

PHAEDRA clothing seeks a balance between form and function, combining attention to detail with practical, everyday wear.  It is clothing that can be worn comfortably: simple lines thoughtfully made.

Each piece is created using natural fabrics.  The palette of the collection conjures grey-blue seascapes and the low light of the English coastline.  A muted, humble and considered simplicity is at the heart of my ethos.

PHAEDRA celebrates the human over the machine.  A garment is a narrative, a piece that changes over time. Linen becomes softer and suppler, colours lighten subtly, and the cloth is imbued with memory - all signs of a long and happy relationship between garment and wearer.

My one-woman business champions well-designed and well-made products.  I work to be as ethical and environmentally conscious as possible in my processes.  I use Lithuanian linen, British and Japanese cotton, paper packaging, and British-made buttons and notions.
