London based Textile Designer Aimee Betts creates hand braided accessories, fabrics & furnishings inspired by the traditions of embroidery & knotting. For her first collaboration with Ilado she has created a collection of 4 vibrant bracelets, combining colourful-knotted cotton thread with the beautiful rose-gold Bola.
I was invited to her studio to observe her making the collection and take her portrait one sunny Sunday afternoon. We chatted lots about the inspiration behind the collection, art, culture, the history of colour and all things colourful...what a delightful afternoon!
