The name Villette is inspired by the Charlotte Bronte novel of the same name. Books have always been a great solace to me and one of my greatest loves. I have always loved the rich worlds novels create and the inspiration literature feeds me. I had the privilege of living in Ireland for many years. Surrounded by a rich literary history and steeped in a historic textile culture, Ireland became a huge inspiration to my creative process. I had the pleasure of running my own small business while living there and gained considerable knowledge and experience in producing, curating and selling handcrafted items for self and home.
Villette is born out of all my professional and personal experiences and combines my love of literature, textiles and passion for interiors, that makes up its unique offerings of European inspired homewares, gifts and self care items. Hand crafted here in the beautiful Hawkes Bay, I hope you enjoy perusing our collection.
