Meet the Maker – Mintchi

5 minutes with/ Handmade business/ Meet The Maker/ Uncategorized

Tell us a little about you & your business.

Mintchi is an eco friendly brand which I decided to create after working in the fashion industry for 7 years. After seeing the atmospheric pollution the manufacturing industry was causing to Asia I thought that was enough of me contributing to this and I started to hand make owl softies from recycled and end roll materials, this soon became a few more characters and what Mintchi is today.

What do you love about your creative business?

I love the freedom of creativity and creating with my own hands and having control of the full process from start to finish.

What is your favourite thing to create?

I enjoy creating all my designs and new designs are always exciting as you don’t know exactly what may arise. If I have to pick one that I enjoy the most it would probably be my baby owls maybe because they were the first characters I ever made and it’s nice to see how they evolve each season.

Meet the Maker – Cecil and Beryl

5 minutes with/ Handmade business/ Meet The Maker

Tell us a little about you and your business.

Hi I’m Jill, the creative behind Cecil & Beryl. Im Mamma to five beautiful kids, a wife and a seamstress. I’m also a self confessed DIY addict always with more than one project on at any given time, and I love a good cup of organic coffee.

Cecil & Beryl is my handmade boutique, where you will find eco and organic childrens clothes with style. I source designer organic fabrics and eco fabrics to create gorgeous clothing for your kids, often with a nod to vintage eras.

Right now I have my new collection ˜Hidden Meadow’ on my website which caters for both boys and girls, focusing on Winter garments, but with many being transitional pieces to be worn throughout the seasons.

What do you love about your creative business?

What I love about my creative business is that I get the privilege of doing what makes my heart sing; and thats sew. I also love that it means I can be flexible in my hours. As you can imagine life with five kids is pretty busy, so fitting in my sewing around playdates and after school activities is important.
