I am always on the look out for pre-loved items, which I can alter or embellish, to make into one off statement pieces. Adding pinstripes to a formal waistcoat, and decorating with chains and patches, or maybe a denim jacket, the sleeves of which become a bag, and the rest a mushroom waistcoat. Or sometimes just a gorgeous piece of fabric. One thing you can be sure of is that a HannahSouthsea garment will never hold back!
Fast fashion has a hugely negative impact on the planet and its resources including people and wildlife - if it was a country, it would be the third biggest polluter on the planet. Upcycling and renovating existing clothes that I find in charity and vintage shops, is my small way of combating this and making use of clothes that exist already, rather than buying new all the time.
Due to the upcycled nature of the finished pieces, you won’t find any two pieces exactly the same and never know what truly unique and individual pieces you might discover on the HannahSouthsea rail!
So be fabulous, boss the look and love the planet!
