An eye for design

I love bold, simple designs – especially prints and textiles. I'm particularly drawn to prints for their ‘hands-on’, handmade qualities. I'm excited by strong colour palettes, pattern and interesting textures. 

Through louhopper.com I'll be bringing you the best in contemporary design: showcasing talented designers and producers. I've studied and worked in the arts and bring my passion and experience to the choices I make.

I have family connections with South Africa, so my current selection is made up of many of the brands that I've fallen in love with on my annual trips to that country. I'm forging close relationships with the enterprising designers and business women behind these brands.

You'll soon realise that my taste is eclectic; as each designer’s work is very individual. They often produce short runs or limited handmade editions, so you can be sure you won’t see everyone with the same handbag! Goods that you purchase from louhopper.com are likely to become the collector’s items of the future.
