Petal Anderson is the creator of bags and other textile items with a unique and individual twist. Our collection incorporates organic Scottish tweeds, Welsh wools, fair trade cotton and sari silks from India, and vintage and recycled fabrics. We also hand knit yarns from rare breed sheep into corsages and purses. Items are accessorised with shell and vintage buttons, feathers beads and flowers.
We are twin-sisters Jill Patel and Jenny Anderson and rather predictably have pursued our dreams on fairly identical paths!
We are both post-graduates of the Royal College of Art, and have both worked in Italy and London as fashion designers before taking a career break to raise young families. We both love a vintage style with a contemporary edge and we both hoard beautiful fabrics, buttons, beads - in fact anything with that tactile, magpie quality! However, most of all, we love creating original pieces with a distinct identity.
