Agate & Ayre is a textile brand inspired by my love of geology. In 2020 I was made redundant due to the pandemic and decided to pursue my dream of creating a collection of slow made, sustainable accessories featuring my own geology influenced prints. I currently sell these through my website and selected Scottish independent stores. This year I won the Launch with STF competition, where Scotland's Trade Fairs were looking for the best new innovative brand to exhibit at their Autumn show.
