  • Superb

    I just listened to the latest podcast episode with Isabelle Hellyer…. Just wow. Enjoyed it so much. Came a week too late - I did a cheeky trip to melb this week and was searching for the great fashion - will just have to go back! In this day & age of Amazon haul (*shudders), thank you for highlighting her beautiful timeless craftsmanship, work and values which are more important than ever.
