Welcome to the world of Miss Budd

I’m Danielle,
I started Miss Budd after I graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1999,well actually I worked in a pub for a while then I started properly in 2000.
With a little help from the Crafts council and the Prince’s Trust I set up a small business and found some premises.By the end of 2000 I’d had a few small orders and one rather big one from Paul Smith,I was on my way.

Over the next few weeks and months I’ll be giving you an insight into the workings of Miss Budd,i’ll be letting you into our archives and giving you sneak previews of our upcoming collections.Also keep an eye out for some special offers, there’ll be some slight seconds,some samples and some very nice limited editions in small limited runs of 10 to 15 pieces

For the last few years I’ve been working with my partner Damon,I do all the design stuff and he does the manufacturing.All our products are designed and manufactured here in the UK. We have two small studios, one where we store all our materials and design and one where we print that we share with wallpaper designer Tracey Kendall. So when she’s not printing wallpaper you can guarantee we’ll be printing purses.

Like I said keep posted.

Love

Miss Budd xx
