'Every item
in our collections is a little piece of luxury,' explains
Fleur Wood. Customers can feel better
knowing that all garments are ethically manufactured,
no animal products are used, and a percentage of company profits
goes to charities in India.
Fleur Wood includes a range of homewares, clothing and accessories
made from luxurious fabrics utilising both classic and modern
designs. Beautiful and delicate with a contemporary bohemian
edge, the ever evolving style epitomises individuality and
self expression. Items can be mixed and matched to create
the customers personal signature.
Inspiration is drawn from both sides of the timeline, both
present day and bygone eras: from the timeless flea markets
of Paris to the colours and textiles of India. The range brings
together cultural divides too: ethnic prints mix in with hand-stitched
French embroidery, and Fleur gathers inspiration from all
over the world. "I enjoy the juxtaposition of styles and
mixing the unexpected. Whether I am putting something ethnic
on a vintage fabric, or using vintage styles in contemporary
colours, the result is modern, individual and timeless. I
love creating these pieces and hope that my customers get
as much joy owning items from my range, as I have designing
them.'
Fleur Wood is the creative force behind her self-named label.
She roams the world in search of the best textiles and craftsmen
to create her designs, which she supplies to leading boutiques
and popular labels worldwide. Her love of fabrics and design
springs from a background of working in fashion. At twenty-three
she took two years out and lived in a nunnery in the Indian
Himalayas designing ranges for a culture-preservation project
of the Tibetan exile government. Upon returning to Sydney
she launched her own label, which - call it good karma - has
enjoyed exponential growth. She continues to travel extensively
throughout India and Europe, meeting up with hand embroiders
in Delhi, drawing inspiration from flea markets in Paris and
the heartbeat of New York. Fleur believes that company profit
comes after personal integrity and she continues to donate
a percentage of profits to charity.
