Where It All Began

A little over a year ago, I was asked by two lovely sisters to create some memory cushion covers from an attic find — bags filled with their late mother's vintage Welsh wool tapestry clothing. Beautiful, handwoven pieces that carried so many memories. Rather than letting these precious fabrics fade away, they asked me to turn them into something new: handbags and cushions they could keep close as a lasting reminder of her.

A Creative Journey Begins

That experience sparked the beginning of my creative journey with Welsh tapestry. I realised that these rich, intricate textiles weren't just fabric — they were history, memory, and tradition all woven together. Each piece deserved a second life, not a charity shop bag or a landfill.

From that moment, I knew this was what I was meant to do: honour these extraordinary fabrics by transforming them into something beautiful, functional, and deeply personal.

Every Bag Tells a Story

That's the heart of Crefftau Jude. Every bag I make carries with it the story of the fabric it came from — and now it's ready to carry yours too.
