Re-imagined Collection
These pieces are one offs and limited edition, coming by way of dead-stock, end of lines and delicate vintage fabrics as as sustainable and eco friendly practice.
As a child growing up in the English countryside, I had an idyllic childhood experience. For a time my family worked together with the idea of subsistence living. What we didn’t have we made or traded with friends and neighbors. My Mother was my greatest influence and a true artist, jeweler, designer and creative. She taught me to sew and knit, embroidery and paint at an early age. She made me clothing from her dresses and repurposed her pre-loved items, transforming them into creations for my brother and I. My own children are now a huge influence on me and seeing life through their eyes has brought back so many memories of my childhood. These roots have played such a huge part in my life and are the inspiration for me as a designer and the beginning of the story of my collection and the start of Skye Jay.
