A Nomad at heart
My Story
A creative director and founder of Cate Victoria currently living between the UK, India, Nepal and now regularly visiting Mongolia. I have trusted in my journey to source some of the best fibres nature can offer. I am always astonished with the quality I come across - so I can offer back to the world certified fibres with integrity.Now environmentally driven to work alongside producers and consumers to bring about some change - with the aim to nourish and inspire a more transparent community of creatives who want to learn as they go and value traceable natural fibres and textiles made with compassion for our planet and people.I aim to bridge a gap between production and consumption and to go on to facilitate transparent and responsible supply chains for designers and brands with complete confidence of my sources.
I want to meet the brands and designers who need to build a traceable system with integrity and heart, and who want to study their supply chains responsibly.
Together we can sharpen our awareness to bring more beauty into the world.
how to build a new supply chain
Ready to work with me?
Being in the middle of what I see is a broken supply chain in textiles and fashion as a whole, I feel I am right where I am supposed to be, my back ground has brought me to the forefront of this new movement of change in fashion, helping bring artisans and makers to the forefront of our industry. To work directly with them is a privilege, to learn and let them guide us- not the other way around is my ongoing motivation.
Through co-creation and collaboration we can establish and aim to meet your needs, be it a new supply chain of raw materials for designs and products, I want to help you meet your needs and meet new suppliers and growers of raw materials through a genuine process of transparency, even if you are experimenting with the idea of story telling sampling with new fibres - the possibilities are endless to grow seeds of change.
Through my own experiences in Asia in all manners of production and from meeting a wide variety of different people in farming, sourcing and manufacturing since the inception of my brand in 2013, I have found that my strength has been from carving out my own niche through an understanding and ability to work across all levels of manufacture - but most importantly seeing things from both sides of the supply chain.
