Lovely to meet you, I'm Justine, founder and designer at The Cloth Fox

 

Having a maker Mum and Nana encouraged me from an early age to use my creativity and imagination.  I’ve always been fascinated with fabric and textiles, colour and light, and have an abiding love of fashion.

​

Creative industries weren’t exactly encouraged when I was at school so my career path to now has been quite diverse; including a nightclub bouncer, a stint in a factory packing boxes, and running a bistro! I’ve spent 15 years in the corporate world in organisational and business development - gaining all the skills I needed to start out on my own business.  Alongside the shop, I also teach leadership skills at a foundation degree level (get in touch if you'd like to know more).

​​

I founded The Cloth Fox in the summer of 2019, opening my first bricks and mortar shop four months before lockdown.  Like it was for most people, this was a tough time to navigate, but I'm proud to say that since then I've been able to grow, employ staff, move to a bigger shop and re-brand.  I'm supported by some truly great people, providing all the necessary love, laughter, tea and biscuits (by the bucket load) along the way.
