Carole never intended to be a textile designer and trained as a French and English teacher. Twenty-eight years ago with no employment opportunities, Carole decided to embark on a new journey. She started painting fabric from her garage and selling tablecloths at the local craft markets to tourists and locals alike. The business grew over the years to employ over 40 people. Carole trained ladies from the local community.
Twelve years ago Carole added screen printing to her creative medium as she had always wanted to design a textile collection for the home.
Covid changed everything. She closed her shops. Retrenched thirty people and decided to focus her energies into screen printing. Luckily a collaboration with a large textile house St Leger & Viney gave her the impetus she needed.
Besides Colour and pattern Carole loves Home Décor and cooking and is delighted that she can now focus on putting her designs into her own textile collections as well as collaboration with like-minded people.
