CUSTOM MADE & BESPOKE

EMBROIDERED JUST FOR YOU

I offer you the chance to experiment with your style through my CUSTOM and BESPOKE embroidered design services, based in my London Studio.

WEDDINGS

I have been commissioned more and more to create unique pieces for private client’s for their special day. It could range from embroidery on men’s jackets, ties and pocket squares to beaded wedding dresses and machine embroidered veils. Please contact me if you have any queries for customised and bespoke pieces, especially made for you!

Above are images of my veil that I created for my wedding day. I used a variety of motifs, that are personalised to both mine and my partners heritage. The designs range from daffodils and bauhinias for my partners Welsh and Hong Kong heritage. There are also various native Egyptian plants and patterns from the edge of Egyptian buildings for my trim. The central piece is an Egyptian tree which is rooted in the Coptic Orthodox Egyptian cross, and of course I had to put our initials and date in there. My hope is to pass this onto my children, and their children, and each person can add their motifs and dates of their wedding days to the veil. It was the special and stand out piece of the day.

I asked Hannah to customise my wedding suit with additional embroidery, and I’m so happy with how it turned out.

Working with Hanna was fantastic - she took all the things I was looking for and translated it into a design and end product that was much more interesting and unique than I imagined myself. Super easy to communicate with, a great mix of listening to what I wanted and guiding based on her experience and ideas. Highly recommended!

The blue and red scarf is gorgeous and looks even more striking in reality. I asked for it to be a long scarf at similar length and width to scarves already being worn as opposed to a square. Hannah accommodated the request and has been a delight to do business with. I would not hesitate in recommending her and I have dropped hints about the neckties!

Working with Hannah has been great. Communication was friendly and straightforward, she always asked the necessary questions to make sure she delivered what I needed, and the quality of her work has been excellent. Even though my projects were out of the ordinary, Hannah tackled them with talent and enthusiasm. I’m thrilled to have found her and very much look forward to working with her again.

Hannah went above and beyond to embellish my wedding dress. I gave her a brief and she sourced all the beads and crystals for the dress and brought my idea to life with a high end luxury finish. She has been so lovely to work with throughout the process and I can’t wait to wear the dress finally!

I really enjoyed the work & was very keen to commission Hannah for my wearable Art piece. I really liked how Hannah was so accommodating to my particular requests, really listening to what I was exactly looking for from her as the Designer and me as her client. The creative nature of the work and the accomplishment of what she did for me is lasting. Thank you.
