Internship number 2....

I have returned up North, after being down South interning for Je Vous En Prie, a company specialising in 100% silk products, which are also completely made in Britain.  The collections are completely unique, consisting of striking colours and graphic patterns. www.jevousenprie.com

I was lucky enough to arrange my Internship to fit in with the London trade show Top Drawer, which the company exhibited at.  It was a great experience to be part of, gaining an insight of what it is like for designers, buyers and exhibiters taking part in a Trade Show.

I also worked at the Surrey studio for the remainder of my stay, taking on tasks such as product making, weaving, general paperwork and updating the website.  It was a valued Internship and I gained lots of experience as well as advice regarding my own work and career aspirations.
The stand got so many comments at the show.. It looked brilliant! 



Test pieces for the new collection, using soft lambswool rather than silk

A few lavender bags that I made, ready to be sent out.

I love the pink and purple colourway, Blush
