Lauren Shanley

Tracie Murchison at Lauren Shanley, Oxo Tower Wharf

Lauren takes vintage cottons, brocades, silks and velvets and transforms them into magical collages that she applies to clothing, interiors and accessories. The recycled fabric is hand-crafted by Lauren, using a combination of stitching, embroidery, appliqué and beading to create layers of colour and texture.

Her individual hand-crafted pieces include bespoke jackets, skirts, dresses, wedding gowns and handbags in a variety of styles, available to order. She also produces interior pieces including cushions, quilts and wall hangings.

New: Lauren's unique fabric is now available to order by the metre for upholstery, curtains or cushions.
