Where are we now?
I returned to India with dreams of printed parasols, stone bases and block printed cushions and accessories. I spent the next two years researching and sampling to find the people I still work with today- they feel like my family.
Over the next few years my wonderful friends volunteered and helped with wind swept tradestands and festival stalls.
I couldn’t have done it without the help of @unoriginalfrenchman @katherinetagge and @ruaridhemslie. Team Parasol Extraordinaire at Wilderness Festival 2019. A year of laughter and wind and rain.
Until lockdown India was my second home, I spent half the year there working with the printers, makers and stone carvers to perfect the designs and production.
I lived in a bohemian shack in Jaipur with @ouroborosjewellery who was always there to pick me up….
My way of working has had to change as children have arrived in my life, and I am so grateful that everyone I work with has helped and supported us so lovingly. It was one of the most moving experiences to introduce new family members to our parasol family in India earlier this year. Meetings now!
