She’s passionate about preserving the history and craftsmanship of an item and says that ‘often all they need is some TLC to look fabulous again’

After her yoga mat bags, made from recycled denim jeans, became a success at her local yoga centre, Emma founded emmalovesretro to showcase her creative talents properly. She’s passionate about preserving the history and craftsmanship of an item and says that ‘often all they need is some TLC to look fabulous again’. The Shepherds Bush-based designer specialises in creating cushions from fabric made in the UK. I love her 1940s and ‘70s floral and geometric prints in bright colours.

Why buy now?

Start the New Year in style with Emma’s Hansel cushion from her folk range, handmade in the UK using a daisy and check patterned vintage fabric. ‘Here’s a cushion I love because of its cute quirky pattern,’ says Emma. ‘My passion for collecting and recycling vintage textiles and my ever growing collection of prints is the inspiration for my own new designs.’
