I set up Albie & Pearl after years of dreaming of having an interiors brand, as a celebration of a stylish, slower and more sustainable way of life.After working for nearly twenty years as a womenswear designer in the world of fast fashion, after the birth of my second child I knew it was time for a change of pace.We moved out of London and down to the Kent coast in search of a more balanced life, one where I could see my children more and be creative on my own terms.I have always had a passion for home and interiors and I think antique and vintage pieces are the perfect way to bring something personal and unique into your homes. The joy of antiques is the thrill of knowing there is unlikely to be another identical piece out there, it has a story, it has soul and it’s sustainable… I guess the absolute opposite to the fast fashion industry which I left!With my background in fashion, colour and trend I work to curate joyful collections of vintage art and homewares. We also offer private sourcing and design consultancy projects.Albie & Pearl is a brand to champion joyful and individual home styling, whilst having as little impact on the planet as possible, a brand inspired by my children and named after them too!
