The world's next 'it' luxury hub, Brazil is also fast becoming a force in leather production and sustainable fabrics.
Les Soeurs Anglaises provides inspiring creative experiences, situated in an historically rich location in the South West of France. Their workshop and weekend breaks enable participants to immerse themselves in expertly led creativity, in a glorious setting, accompanied by lovingly prepared food and wine. A luxury range of accommodations and a relaxed environment in which to unwind, allows for complete emersion in craft, with likeminded creatives. Providing a real opportunity to discover or rediscover your own innate creativity, free from the stresses of everyday life.
Essential to the success of their workshops are the members of Les Soeurs Anglaises, who share an enthusiastic outlook on life and an ability to work and play hard, whilst welcoming new and familiar faces from all over the world. Les Soeurs Anglaises was founded in 2000 when Katie Elliott Armitage and her sister, Susie, ran a small business sourcing and selling vintage French linen. After a permanent move to France, Katie decided to use the name Les Soeurs Anglaises for the next project; a creative workshop retreat with the express intention of providing guests with memorable, life-affirming experiences in textile based creative subjects. Trained as a graphic designer, an interior designer and a paper conservationist, Katie’s passion is textile collage, and her eclectic style can been seen throughout the property. Joined by Susie Bolton Nash, and Carol Temple, the Soeurs Anglaises team ensure the smooth running of the events.
Acutely aware of the privilege they enjoy, Les Soeurs Anglaises offer a quiet sanctuary in which to relax, reconnect and enjoy the liberation of individual creativity. They believe in the valuable contribution that female equality offers society, and support the charity Women for Women International.
