Complete Makers list  >  Chocolate Design

All of my retro style products are handmade in Britain to the
highest standard. I use Hawaiian fabric for the aprons and mix in polka dots and gingham to give a glamorous look to something very practical. I love the humorous style of the 1950s and this is reflected in the appliqued cushions and lavender bags featuring cakes and food mixers. As everything is handmade each item is individual giving it, its own unique personality.
