About us.
Handcrafted Soft Furnishings
We offer a completely tailored service. From the design and taking of detailed measurements, to the careful hand sewn construction and fitting in your beautiful home.
Our workroom is nestled in the heart of York's rich industrial history, situated on the site of the redeveloped Terry’s chocolate factory—once the birthplace of the beloved chocolate orange. Here, we find inspiration in the imposing presence of Terry's Clock Tower. Serving not only the city of York but also its surrounding areas, Angela will visit your home, ensuring that every aspect of your design vision is carefully considered.
Angela goes the extra mile to source the perfect fabrics, trims and tracks to perfectly compliment your interior. Each curtain, blind, and cushion is meticulously crafted by hand, guaranteeing a level of quality that is second to none. As required, Angela will collaborate closely with a skilled fitter, to offer you a full end to end service from the comfort of your home.

“I love the transformative power of bespoke soft furnishings. Every aspect is personalised, with no two jobs ever the same!
From the practicalities of controlling light and insulating your room, to the creative flair of adding colour, texture and pattern to your palette. I take great pride in all aspects of the design details and handsewn finishes to craft something perfectly unique each time.”
