Verity Isabelle began with a lifelong love of sewing, knitting and crochet, fitted in over the years around raising my family. My youngest daughter, Verity Isabelle, inspired the name.

After losing my mum, my work took a more personal direction. The Veronica Bunnies are named after her, and I still think of her with every stitch.

Everything is handmade by me in my studio on the Lancashire coast, using beautiful natural materials — linen, soft cotton, silk and lace — made slowly, with love, and meant to be treasured.
