Over the years I have accumulated a lot of fabrics and other materials having studied art and fashion and also during internships, namely at Norton and Sons bespoke tailors on Savile Row. A born hoarder, I have always seen the potential of fabrics and objects that other people may see to throw away. And so starting Pip was a natural (if not essential!) project for me to develop.
Pip is an eco- friendly business; all products have been made by myself from end of role fabric, scraps of fabrics that would have been thrown away and from garments no longer worn. The aim is to divert anything heading to the landfill and reinvented into something new.
Each product is unique due to the nature of sourcing the materials. Depending on how much fabric I have and the design of the product, I could produce a limited range of a particular product or an entirely unique “One- Off” piece.
My aim for this business is to develop and grow in line with the profit turn over by starting trade on the internet at websites such as Etsy and specific online boutiques. With a healthy record of online trading and evidence of press coverage I will then approach retail boutiques.
I have already begun sampling product and have produced a sizable stock, practising running a market stall on two separate church faites. An outlet for selling Pip would be a market stall at Greenwich, Portobello and Spitalfields, which I must also aim for.
