Based in East Sussex, Bricks and Stitches is a lifestyle brand founded by Becky Gunning – ex lawyer, now Instagram fashionista.
Product: Le Chameau Boots
Becky started her career as a lawyer, and went on to meet her husband Jamie, who ran his own residential development company in London. After marriage Becky’s life direction changed, and she left the world of law to start a family. When the boys reached an age when they didn’t need Mummy around so much, Becky decided to start a business from her kitchen table and follow her passion. The initial idea was to run a property and interior design business alongside her husband, but as Becky took her first tentative steps into the fashion blogging world, she quickly realised the audience was a lot more interested in her outfits! Her confidence grew as she realised women everywhere were just like her – seeking high quality, affordable and wearable fashion. Bricks and Stitches was born.
The business blossomed from the kitchen table to the spare room. Then from a converted garage to their very own premises in the centre of Stonegate. “Our wonderful team of local and highly skilled mums make us incredibly proud. Many never thought they’d have a chance to be a fundamental part of an ever-growing business. We have a fantastic team of agents and suppliers in the UK and Europe, particularly France and Italy who absolutely love what we bring to the UK market. “
“The plans aren’t stopping here. We want to increase interaction with our valuable customer base, offer special events for them and continue to attend the inspiring shopping events across the UK. And of course visit Ed and the Golden Boot Team who are always so busy!”
