BA (Hons) Fashion Buying and Merchandising 2021

I am a Fashion Buying and Merchandising graduate with a passion for sustainability. I founded my brand Hekla with this in mind, creating bespoke knitwear items that will last through the seasons. Each item is completely personalised to each customer, with their colour and sizing preferences. The brand itself is more of a community, as I aim to sell crochet kits which can be used with Zoom tutorials to help customers feel less isolated in the aftermath of the pandemic. I have loved researching sustainable yarns and the various ways businesses can be fully sustainable, so my ultimate goal is to become 100% sustainable from concept to carrier bag as a business.
