This week BrisStyle welcomed five new members to the team! Here's a little bit of fabulousness from each of our new members:


Not only does Ellie from Red Seed Studio design this season's must-have fabric but she also makes delicious little totes like this mini Hand Embroidered Hemp Denim Tote Bag. "It's fabulous!"


Michelle from Vintage Visions makes a range of gifts and homewares inspired by the colours and textures of bygone times like this fabulous Vintage China Pieced Pendant.


Daneve from Chicuff takes colourful recycled non-woven bags and turns them into fabulous accessories for kids and adults including rings, cuffs and hair pins like these Red and Black Loopy Design Hair Pins.


Now you can make your own softies at home thanks to new BrisStyle member Pauline from Funky Friends Factory. Pauline's pattern collection includes a huge range of friendly faces like Plattie Platypus Plush Toy Pattern. Plus they're PDF downloadable patterns so you can get started right away!


Ange from Angelene has come up with an ingenious solution to accessorising with every outfit. These gorgeous earrings are interchangeable giving you 7 different looks from the one set! Pick up yours here.
