Karen's love of nature stems directly from her upbringing and the privilege of spending holidays on a family Fynbos farm. As a result she wants to ensure that future generations can enjoy the same experiences. In Karen's own words, "I find beauty in the small things. Things that have existed around us forever and yet these same elements continue to overwhelm our senses, even today"

Consistent to the source of her inspiration, Karen's designs have always incorporated an abundance of natural and organic fabrics, full of texture and strong yet subtle colour - that seemingly comes from the earth itself. But the real delight in her work often arrives in the rather surprising collision of these source materials with Karen's confident, and most contemporary design edge.

Karen enjoys reinventing the traditional craft techniques of knitting, naïve embroidery, felting and darning- she then combines them with some of the purest fabrics today's world has on offer. The result is a compelling range of exceptionally strong, clean lined and very wearable clothes, with a wonderful hand made twist.
