ERINN HAYHOW
Eirinn Hayhow’s brand philosophy is to “See the beauty in everything, find the light in the darkness” – To create unique, high vibe garments, salvaged from unwanted materials.
THE TEXTILES
Sustainability is an integral part of Hayhow’s creative process. Each garment in her latest collection, Magic Mushrooms, is based on a type of mushroom. She is inspired by their colours, textures, shapes, as well as their wellbeing properties for humans as well as the ecosystem.
THE MAKING
Hayhow creates her own natural dyes – from foraging plants and berries, and reusing fruit and vegetable waste. Everything is made from salvaged cotton and sustainable fibers that has a positive impact on our ecosystem. For example, the Pineapple Long Leather Jacket, Pineapple Leather Corset and Pineapple Leather Dress displayed in the window are designed with vegan leather made from pineapple fibers. A percentage of her sales go towards the Pilgrims Hospice end of life charity.

She continues to research innovative ways to produce materials from natural resources.
