For many years now, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Andrea and her team, and I’m genuinely proud of the values we share. Our collective belief in the responsibility we all bear, as members of this precious planet and global community, to be more mindful in our choices and actions, is something that resonates deeply with me.

From the very start, Andrea Hawkes has very authentically and passionately built a business that honours the planet, that strives to create beautiful gowns and bridal fashion using the highest quality sustainable fabrics and materials and most sustainable processes and that sustains traditional dressmaking skills – in so doing, providing valuable employment for talented individuals. The desire to do this very much comes from her heart. You can feel this when you’re in her presence, it’s a palpable energy.

If you’re unfamiliar with the term ‘sample sale’ – it is a sale of former display gowns that have been meticulously maintained and are still of exceptional quality. Sample sales are an excellent way of grabbing yourself a couture gown at a fraction of the usual cost – and this one is being held on a ‘first come, first served’ basis….
