Just to read it on a damp, grey November day brings their shops alive. What a wonderful group of women. You can hear them talk and feel the fabrics and jewellery. An exceptional blog and thank you.

Thank you, wonderful read as usual.

And it makes one realise how dull most of our clothes are…

Thank you so much for the lovely portraits of these beautiful businesswomen and their stories. The reader may want to dig a little into the history of wax fabrics themselves. Humans do make good things of whatever they find, however it comes to them.
