Jacques Designs was born in 2011. After many years of dreaming of owning my own creative business together with struggling to find a gift after the birth of my daughter Olivia in 2007, for my sister and my brother ( a new auntie and a new uncle), I decided I could and would make my own gifts. My son, Harrison, then came along in 2010 and I finally had the opportunity to be a stay at home mum. This enabled me to spend any spare time I had on designing and making my gifts. I love the handmade look and wanted to steer clear of the perfect, precision, machine “handmade” items that have become popular in many shops. I really wanted my pieces to show that they have been lovingly created, with a lot of sweat & tears and that no two items would be exactly the same. Everybody will own a unique handcrafted piece. There are no machines or mass produced items, it literally is just me, mum of two, from the cutting of the wood (and a few fingers!) to the final coat of wax or varnish.
This is just the beginning for Jacques Designs, I have a lot of ideas but only the two hands, so watch this space!
