The flaxen-haired 27-year-old is calling from her studio, a converted pig barn, which is filled with dried flowers, antique lamps, vintage clothes and accessories amassed at boot fairs, and rolls upon rolls of faux fur. (“The quality of fake fur these days,” she explains, “is too much to turn down.”) It’s here, in her “little bubble of inspiration,” that she individually hand-makes the fuzzy toppers that have been spotted on every It Brit from Adwoa Aboah to Iris Law, who recently paired a lavender version with a Gucci gown to ring in her 17th birthday.
