Our Story

We celebrate femininity with a contemporary take on vintage glamour.

'Driven by my creative vision of a botanical sanctuary, I weave whimsical illustrations into my fabrics that wrap your heart, soul and mind in a safe, gentle space.'

After graduating as a Textile Designer, Helen has spent her career working with designer brands and retailers, designing hand painted artworks and illustrations in the UK and abroad.

Creating designs inspired by textile crafts, botanical illustrations and exotic prints from all around the world, each whimsical floral and abstract design is hand painted in watercolour by Helen.

Designer Helen Loveday Turner shares a story...

'When I was a little girl, my grandmother took me to pottery classes. She was a talented artist and ceramicist, and after my grandfather's untimely passing, she found the creative work therapeutic. Using her hands to design beautiful art gave my grandmother an outlet for her grief, and it inspired my own career in art and design.

I have a vivid memory of the white porcelain vase she helped me paint, the detail of the indigo blue design I drew, and the feeling of accomplishment I had when we pulled it from the kiln. The mindful process of art and the feelings it evokes have stayed with me while I've honed my skills as an illustrator and designer. As a result, my collections are reminiscent of days gone by, a romantic reflection of the past where vintage glamour meets whimsical elegance.'

Why Silk?

'I have always favoured silk as a designer as it is simply the most beautiful fabric, holding rich and vibrant colours with a pearlescent glow that is quite distinct from synthetic fabrics'

Discover the allure of silk, a fabric steeped in over 5,000 years of history. As the legends go, discovered by a Chinese princess as a silk worm cocoon dropped from a mulberry tree into her cup of tea, and the fine thread unravelled in the hot water and revealed itself to her.

Once rare and tightly controlled, its creation was an art form, and silk clothes were only worn by royalty. Our silk kimono robes and accessories embody this rich heritage, embrace femininity and experience modern elegance inspired by ancient craftsmanship.
