Isabel Fletcher is a London based textile designer working with offcuts to create contemporary, sustainable craft.
Working with production offcuts, Isabel Fletcher’s designs take inspiration from often overlooked and undervalued details in life. Working with the offcut’s pre-determind shapes and materials, Isabel Fletcher dyes, manipulates and arranges them to create functional works of art. Isabel Fletcher views our leftover scraps and remnants, not as waste, but as the starting point for further design. Collage, colour and materiality is at the heart of everything Isabel Fletcher creates.
