Brindille and Twig

Interview with Melissa from Brindille and Twig: 

~Tell us about yourself, Melissa.~

 Who am I? 

Well, first you should know my brain was made to be creative and if you could look at it, it would probably be made of fabric, sequins, thread, twill tape etc...   

 I've been going to apparel school for the past 2 years, and I'm almost done!  Which means I have more time on my hands to make things. I've never been about one or two specific items, it's always been more about making whatever I'm inspired to do at that moment. And I've been inspired to make anything from a leather handbag to little faux fur booties! 

 I can say that some of my happiest moments are when I'm in the middle of a creative mess and I manage to get something beautiful out of it. Like a victory in the battlefield of my work room :) When the flying fur settles and the fabric scraps land there's always a winner, either ME or THE PROJECT. If I win, I get a darling new item, if the projects wins he gets thrown to a death in the garbage. 

The boots I'm selling didn't start as such, they started as more of a simple sock-like boot. And through a series of sidetracks and mistakes I ended up with the the lovely boots you see on Etsy!  I can never make myself stop at the simplicity of the original idea, I have to continue changing and adding until it's something I absolutely love. Otherwise I couldn't force myself to sell it.  I think it's very apparent when someone is passionate about what they're selling, as well as if they aren't. And,  I do my best to show I'm passionate about everything I'm creating. 

~What inspired you to start your shop Brindille and Twig?~

 Brindille and Twig has been in my plans since I started school. I was originally inspired by an all-organic clothing line and want to end up making only organic items. It's quite difficult to find all organic materials, so I'm not all the way there but I hope to be in the future.  As I said before, my original ideas and where I end up going is constantly shifting and recreating itself.  I love what I'm doing and that's all that counts because if your doing what you love it's easy to stay determined. Therefore, eventually you will succeed.  

~What is your favorite Item in your shop?~

Right now my favorite item, by far, is the organic striped hoodie in olive and black, and I'm in the process of recreating it in different combinations and sizes.   I always make my own patterns so the sweatshirt and everything else is totally unique to anything out there.  

~If you had to use 5 words to describe yourself what would they be?~

• Creative
• Determined
• Quiet
• Happy
• Coffee (I think I'm 1/4 coffee at any given time)

 

 My Review:

I received a pair of booties similar to these to review. 

My first impression of these were "Oh, my gosh! These are too cute!" and that's not an exaggeration.  I showed them to my fiance right away and he said "Those are awesome!". My niece Rebecca will look darling in these. They are super soft and very well made.  Not only will they keep her little piggies warm in the winter but they are also very stylish!  These faux fur lined baby booties are made from organic fabric and has a very cute leather tie that completes the look. You will never find an item like these because they are 100% unique!

Brindille and Twig is a wonderful shop to do your Christmas shopping for the little one in your life!
