About Aye Aye

I taught myself to sew when I was 14 by taking apart vintage clothing and putting it back together again in Frankenstein type experiments - I had a very eccentric wardrobe back then! This was the start of my love of vintage and the start of my history of making reproduction/vintage inspired clothing that is wearable and comfortable. My business was born shortly after my first daughter was born. She inspired me to make some child's dresses and baby items and start selling at craft fairs where she joined me from 3 months old. The children's clothes soon expanded into adult clothing with a vintage feel and my business really started to take off. I started to get commissions to make bridesmaids dresses and started to sell to trade too. It all still feels like a bit of a whirlwind as there is always so much still to do (especially when you only get to work when your children sleep). I am looking forward to the future of Aye Aye and all the interesting opportunities that present themselves to you when you run your own business!Read their story
