Autumn Vale
Warm autumnal shades inspired by the colours of the changing season.
Made slowly, with care, from a little studio in the UK.
A LITTLE CREATIVITY, A NEW DIRECTION
My story.
KillaWoven began in a bedroom, during a time when I needed something of my own. After stepping away from work and starting therapy, I found myself spending much more time at home. I needed something creative to focus on, and something that gave me a little sense of purpose.
My best friend Hannah wore dreads she'd bought on Etsy and kept encouraging me to make a set for her. I'd enjoyed installing them for her a few times, so I decided to give making them a go. And I became completely obsessed.
I made my first set for myself, then one for Hannah and a couple for friends. Eventually, I opened an Etsy shop and started sharing what I'd made. I didn't have a grand business plan; I just wanted to put my work out there.
Then came my first sale. Someone I'd never met had chosen something I'd made with my own hands. I remember thinking, maybe I can actually do this.
As time went on, I completed therapy and began to feel much better. But returning to the busy, customer-facing roles I'd worked in for years no longer felt like something I could see myself doing. By then, KillaWoven had become more than a hobby. It had given me somewhere to channel my creativity, something to work towards and a new sense of possibility.
And so, here we are.
Still creating, still learning, still dreaming up new collections inspired by the natural world, little stories and the atmosphere of places and moments. Every set is made by hand, with care and a love for the little details.
KillaWoven is still growing, and I'm so glad you're here to be part of it.
