SHIO

ANNOUNCEMENT TIME 🧡

After 13 fabulous years of running SHIO store and studio I’ve decided it’s time for a big change. At the end of this year I’ll hand the store over to my studio mates who will continue to thrive in this creative space. I’ve absolutely loved this job. It let me work in fashion the exact way I want to - focusing on the craft of making clothes and steering clear of an industry that exploits and pollutes. I’m very proud of creating the SHIO brand focused on timeless sustainable shapes alongside my upcycling passion project, giving second-hand garments a new life. After over a decade of running the store I’ll be finishing up at the end of this year. I’m feeling very positive to be ending things on a high. I’ve sewn over 1500 pieces this year and I’m looking looking forward to giving my hands and back a rest 😅
Please join me to celebrate this end of an era on the 14th of December for Christmas Drinks + Snacks 🥂
I’d like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has bought a Shio item over the years, from the earlier quirkier, sometimes very ‘handmade’ looking pieces, to the later more refined core Shio wardrobe staples. I’ve met most of you in person in the store and it’s been an absolute pleasure. I’ll be in the store as usual : Monday - Saturday 11h -18h until my final shift on Dec. 21 2024. Please stop by to say goodbye anytime 🥰
As I wind things down stock levels are very limited and won’t be restocked, so if you’ve had your eye on any Shio pieces, now would be the chance to snap something up and also to use your vouchers 🧡
I don’t think I’ll ever stop sewing, creating, upcycling and fabric printing so feel free to get in touch about projects and custom items, but starting next year I’ll have a full time job and I’m really looking forward to learning new skills. It may take me some time to see if I can juggle employment and freelance work so bear with me and watch this space 👀 Much love 🧡
