Charles and Patricia have designed unique ladies evening wear for many years and are well known for their hallmark hand pleated and hand painted silks. Luxurious velvets later became a part of their signature collections. They create wonderful pieces out of the hand painted velvets some of which they apply their unique printing techniques such as devore, misted and phantom prints.Elegant bias cut dresses created from the luxurious velvets and sumptuous silks are available for all sizes. Hand pleated silk outfits – simply decorated or heavily beaded are created in any of the vast range of colours available.
Bespoke pieces can be made to suit the individual and the occasion.
