We are now into week two of the Coriandr Express and the next VIP is Julie Mills of Handmaid.
Julie is a fashion design graduate with a focus on textiles, particularly print and embroidery. Bold prints and bright colours are her passions and she finds inspiration in both the English countryside, which can be seen in her bold bird prints, and Romanticised historical imagery.
She takes great pride in the design and making of her bags, purses and scarves; using the best materials which she hand dyes ahead of printing digitally or by hand, before knitting, appliqué or embellishment.
Her Fairisle Knit coin purse is a particular favourite and features a Liberty print cotton lining.
