Handmade for Me
Handmade for Me

female Women-owned

Handmade for Me comes from a lifetime of being surrounded
by a family of creative women who sewed, knitted, crocheted
and imagined. Ros grew up hearing a Singer Treadle, the
click-clack of knitting needles and learning about the textures
of fabrics and colours. Handmade for Me is the manifestation
of that listening, touching materials and never finding the right
bags and purses. Ros believes what you wear and what you
carry can be an expression of the person you are. She makes
items that differ from the mainstream but are just as practical.
