Terra Dea was launched in late 2012 by emerging designer Terri Nicole Hughes. Taking
her love of travel and incorporating it into each of her collections, her design style has a
certain stylish air about it. Always fresh, summery and ready to hit the beach, her lines
are meant to be worn in the sunshine, with the use of vibrant prints, along with a
beautifully muted colour pallet. Her style is unrestricting with a plethora of luscious
layers and free fitting shapes that somehow still flatter the figure to precision.
Always adding a touch of elegance to her boho beachwear, she finishes her garments
with exquisite touches of leather, organic silk linings and not to mention her obsession
with French seams!
ECO Chique.
Adding to the already fabulous designs, Terra Dea (the Latin meaning for earth
goddess) is an ethical brand. Terri sources the finest eco fabrics from around the world,
including GOTS certified organic cottons and bamboo silks that have been hand made
in India, Recycled beads made by women in Uganda, and UK sourced ‘GREEN’ leather,
ensuring the humane treatment of all livestock and only used as a by-product of the
meat industry. Furthermore Terri is always on the lookout for great recyclable materials
such as her fabulous recycled saree’s that she up-cycles into her designs.
Due to the use of recycled materials Terra Dea always has some great unique pieces
available. Along with the equally great slow fashion pieces that are stocked season after
season.
Terra Dea’s commitment.
Designer Terri is an avid animal lover and (as mentioned above) only uses UK sourced
green leather along with recycled leathers and furs. She does not condone the slaughter
of animals for the use of fashion, And promises to donate 10% of any profits terra Dea
makes from their leather/fur sales to selected animal charities annually.
Terra Dea has also been awarded the Positive Luxury Blue Butterfly trust mark, for their
ethically sustainable products.
The laid back style and impeccable quality of Terra Dea has already been noticed
around the world. Exporting many of her sales to the European market (France in
particular), along with being approached by buyers in Australia, the US and Canada, not
to mention her home turf, the UK. ( Also catching the eye of celebrity twitter followers.)
Terra Dea will be at High Street Fashion Week.
