Philippa Day designs and creates her work in her sewing parlour in Derbyshire, mostly supervised by Jed, her Border Collie.

Philippa makes a unique range of bags, purses and homewares. She has built an excellent reputation for her high-quality level of design, detailing and finishing, as well as a real eye for combining colour and texture to produce beautiful yet unusual bespoke items.

Philippa has a deep love of sumptuous textiles: and gets terribly over-excited by the dupion silks, real leather, vintage buttons, fancy ribbons and the yummiest of rich velvets and brocades which she uses in her work.

Philippa sources all her materials as locally as possible and is passionate about keeping traditional craft skills alive and kicking.
