Jewel Colours
Costume maker Liz Poole, who worked on Netflix sensation Bridgerton, has designed a beautiful interiors accessories collection under her Velvet Linen label
Inspired by the rich autumnal and wintery tones found in her cottage garden in the heart of Sussex, Bridgerton costume maker and Velvet Linen founder Liz Poole is launching a collection of luxurious handmade home accessories in rich jewel-coloured plain and printed Liberty velvets.
“I love watching my garden change over the seasons and some of my favourite flowers and colours are in abundance during the autumn/winter months. The warm rich tones of dahlias, fuschias and cyclamen provided me with the inspiration for the jewel collection which I feel works so beautifully for any interiors space over the season,” explains Liz, who began working on the collection following the renovation of her Victorian railway cottage.
Liz soon realised that the cushions, quilts and seat pads that were being created using the finest velvets and natural linens – were gaining attention from family and friends alike who loved the element of colour therapy and texture they added to the home and wanted to purchase them for their own spaces. It was quite by chance that Velvet Linen was born in the summer of 2020.
Liz has a studio in Ditchling, where she works with a talented team of makers and artisans, who produce costumes for musicals, theatre and opera including West End smash-hits Hamilton and Cinderella, Glyndebourne Opera in Sussex and the Royal Opera House.
Velvet Linen is rapidly becoming a name to watch in the interior’s world, offering an incredible array of home accessories for lovers of the bold and beautiful or for those who have their keen eye on refined and elegant design.
