I’m Ali — the face and heart behind By Faerynuff. When I’m not hunting down vintage and retro textiles or spending time with my family, you’ll find me at a concert or the theatre, nose buried in a book, or happily snuggled on the sofa with a crafty project in one hand and a Cherry Moonshine and Diet Coke in the other.
By Faerynuff is what happens when a lifelong love of textiles bumps into the bold decision to step away from corporate life and make something entirely my own.
I’ve been making and creating for as long as I can remember — from tiny outfits for dolls and teddies to full-on clubbing looks fashioned from rescued lace curtains, danced in until dawn on the south coast of the UK. That same joy and scrappy ingenuity threads through everything I make today.
I love to source and reuse vintage and retro textiles, rescuing patterns and textures that have stories to tell where I can. Then pairing them with contemporary fabrics to create pieces that are truly one-of-a-kind. Most items contain a little bit of history, a little bit of now, but always a whole lot of character.
