About me
I’m a creative that loves photography, travel and specialise in handmade knitwear creations. I specialise in combatting supply chain slavery, partnership working and survivor advocacy.
I blend both of my passions of creativity and activism into one to make the world a better place.
Projects
- SS21 Zero Waste Campaign: Lifestyle AdditionThe theme for SS21 this year is Zero Waste. Therefore, all the products this season are made from old, discarded materials to create new bohemian-inspired pieces, being sustainable and ethical.

Below is our reusable cotton pad collection which is available for purchase on our website: www.madesincere.co.uk

I will update this project as I post more eco tips...

All the materials used to make these macramé's have the ability to decompose after discarding. These are now available for purchase on my website; https://www.madesincere

The yarn is sourced from an Icelandic company called Lopi. They support Icelandic sheep farmers and have an eco-friendly ethos. Each of these products have been made by hand, by me, Isha. I have spent endless hours perfecting and refining each design to ensure quality and perfection. The products are named after Icelandic words which r
