Tamsin Cooper would have to be one of New Zealand’s most favourite young designers who has gone from strength to strength with each passing year.
Having started her label in 2003 with just a small range of exquisitely embroidered women’s silk wallets and coin purses, she now has extensive ranges of fashion accessories, clothing and interior accessories of which have gained her nation media acclaim over the last few years.
She recently exhibited her latest Summer 2008/09 accessories collection on the catwalk at Fashion on Q, bringing femininity and glamour along for the ride. Tamsin Cooper designs combine western design aesthetics with time-honoured Vietnamese workmanship. All embroidered detail is exquisitely hand stitched onto fine silk fabrics by artisans in traditional Vietnamese villages using techniques that have been passed down for generations.
Although working with Vietnam is challenging, their talent and skill for hand embroidery is brilliant, ensuring that the ‘Tamsin Cooper’ label is of the highest quality.
Trading with a conscience is essential to the way Tamsin’s company operates, donating a percentage of their profits to the New Zealand/Vietnamese aid organisation.
