Pretty things from Andrea's Beau

The story begins with a little girl growing up among pretty textiles, fashion houses and dress manufacturers. With such a background her mother further encouraged her to seek inspiration from various everyday objects like a vase of daisies a ballerina's costume or a beautifully decorated cake. In 1986 Andrea fell in love with an old roll of French floral ribbon, and from there went on to create the brand Andrea's Beau. We are happy to present to you these beautifully crafted designs from a brand as beautiful and as creative as its background...

THE LABELS
Marquito&Blowman, Bohemia & Bohemia Couture are new independent design labels, each collection being produced in limited runs. If you purchase any of their designs you would be supporting their ethical ethos as all garments are not mass manufactured, they are hand crafted locally in their on site design studio in the United Kingdom. Furthermore, each garment from the Bohemia label is totally unique, exclusive and one-off. No two garments are ever produced in the same fabric or colour way, creating a unique chance to add more individuality to your wardrobe.

The Body Con Dress By Marquito & Blowman has a thick zip at the front which can be
opened so that you can wear it as a long waistcoat with leggings or skinny jeans.
