Trimspiration in The World of Interiors

Elizabeth ‘...creates stand alone pieces that allow for the intricacy of the work to be intimately appreciated. And appreciate you must, each painstakingly hand-dyed, -spun and -woven thread. Her contrasting palette, meanwhile invites you to follow every single one of them as if they were pieces of complicated calligraphic script dissolving into abstraction. It speaks not just to the deftness of the medium, but the undiluted joy of decoration’
— David Lipton, The World of Interiors

It is wonderful to see the art of handmade passementerie being celebrated in modern design spaces. I’m thrilled to share that my bespoke passementerie tieback has been featured in the prestigious The World of Interiors Designers and Decorators October issue, ahead of the launch of my new made to order passementerie collection which will be unveiled at Decorex in a few weeks time.

My Chromatic Waves curtain tieback, as pictured here, is entirely handmade using rare, artisanal passementerie techniques including cord spinning, scallop making and picot making, adding a splash of contemporary colour to any interior. Made to order in my studio in London, this tieback can be created in any colour and material combination your heart desires.

Please join me at Decorex in October to see the launch of my new collection Garden Party. Stand no. MS14 in the Making Spaces Section.
