Found­ed by Jes­si­ca Schomberg dur­ing a life­time of trav­el and design. Her cre­ations are influ­enced by the colours and tex­tiles she sees. Jessie has always worked with small fam­i­ly man­u­fac­tur­ers (main­ly women) who she has built up rela­tion­ships with over many years. She still sits and works with them on the floors of the work­shops as she always has done. This is why her designs are indi­vid­ual and stand out from the crowd.
