Denim jackets are one of my favourite things to work with. They’re already built to last — a good denim jacket can outlive most other things in your wardrobe — and they take embellishment beautifully. Sequins, embroidery, patches, paint — denim holds it all.
These particular pieces have all found their homes, but they’re here as inspiration. Each one started life as a preloved jacket — sourced from charity shops, car boot sales or brought in by customers — and was transformed into something completely one of a kind.
If you see something here that sparks an idea, get in touch. I take custom orders for reworked and embellished denim jackets, and I love a brief. Tell me what you’re drawn to, what you want to wear it with, what you don’t want — and we’ll go from there.

The world is overflowing with textiles! We buy them, wear for a bit, then get rid of them, either by donating to charity shop or putting it in the bin. Most of these clothes still got plenty of life left in them, but fashion changes or we have no space left in our wardrobe so we choose to throw out and make space for new.
Suit jackets are timeless pieces. However they can be a bit plain and boring if you want to wear the outside the office. Here are a few I customised for the festival season.
I bought these amazing trimmings in Mumbai exactly for this purpose. All painstakingly hand stitched with love.

I love the shape of this jacket. But it was a little plain. So I added some frilly fringing and lace. Also changed the buttons from plain plastic to embossed silver ones. The flower brooch is removable. I do take commissions if you want your own favourite jacket embellished.
