my mums a hippie!


My Mum's a hippie aka Monique Jivram is one of the lovely urban craft stars. I met her at the Brixton Craft Market and she just stood out from everyone else with her lovely original work.


"She loves to sew while listening to the rolling stones. After a third Galaxy ripple, her obsessive, ever busy hands combine her love for embroidery with her punchy illustrations creating works of art which are a mixture of hand embroidery and machine sewing.

To battle the forces of her mothers crushed velvet and beaded wardrobe, my mums a hippie brings urban T-shirts and striking accessories to you. Every labour intensive piece revolves around colour, to create raw, edgy and intricate pieces."

Her mum very kindly looked after the pop up shop for us one day and she is a real sweetheart too. Thank you Miriam!
