A BIT ABOUT ME

I am a Belgian clothes designer and maker who studied in Antwerpen at the Academy of Fine Arts and at CTL in Gent. I worked for a number of renowned Belgian fashion designers before setting out on my own, and have been living and working in the UK for over 20 years.


I make one-off handmade pieces in natural materials that are both timeless and contemporary.

​

The finishing touches are hand stitched with meticulous attention to detail - as intricate on the inside as they are minimalist on the outside. I often use sustainable and vintage materials. Most of the fabrics I work in have been pre-washed by me with ecological detergent to ensure the fabric will behave well with home laundering. 

​

I prefer to discuss before you purchase as each piece is unique and I need to make sure the sizing and details work for you.

​

I have a passion for materials and shapes, and always make pieces with forever in mind.

​

​

Bespoke commissions also undertaken.

PODCAST

​

In this week's episode of The Capital of Craft, Sarah James from Craft Festival & Find a Maker talks with clothes designer/ maker Sigrid Verschraeghen from her home in Silverton, Devon.


Born in Belgium, Sigrid won the coveted Best Stand award at this year’s Bovey Tracey Craft Festival. She trained as a fashion designer, working with various fashion houses, never feeling at home with the values of mainstream production. A move to the UK followed and the process of creating her slow-fashion label began.
