Original patterns influenced by historical fashions

Emma Brennan’s original patterns for handbags, hats and other stitched accessories are influenced by historical fashions, ranging from the clean lines of 1920’s art deco to the inventive spirit of the 1940s make-do-and-mend era. She uses a mix of traditional British fabrics and vintage trims to create contemporary pieces with a dash of ‘retro’.

The Charlie’s Aunt range features mainly PDF patterns alongside a small collection of ready-printed patterns. To complement these, Charlie’s Aunt also stocks a selection of limited edition bag and hat kits, plus vintage and retro sewing supplies including tweed fabric, vintage buttons and ribbons.

All of the Charlie’s Aunt products are ‘unfussy’ but with a hefty dose of 1940s inventiveness.
