The first time I came across a Penhaligon’s store was when I was spending time with my family in Paris, I felt like I had stepped back in time to the 19^th Century, what an amazing discovery!!! I was instantly in love. The perfumes date back to 1872, they are so unique and natural compared to the modern perfumes of today.

When wearing them I feel I am wearing a rare perfume that no one else has, I feel as if I’m wearing a unique peace of history.

Magnolia Soap Design

The magnolia design was the first design I worked on for Clare press’s soaps, when it came to coming up with ideas for the allover look, I made myself do loads of research, having never designed for packaging made me a little nervous!! but I do like to challenge myself when it comes to design :-)
Being a textile designer I’m always working in repeat, so I decided to let that go, I loved the idea of having one design wrap itself around the front of the soap bar, this gave it a real art nouveau/ Deco feeling which we loved.

Design Inspiration

These beautiful images came from a book called Exceptional Jewellery by Rene Lalique, it belongs to the lovely Clare Press, this book was the very starting point to our inspiration for Clare’s Dressing Table products.
The Art Nouveau look was a must have, being such an elegant movement suited Clare down to the ground!!
