The name of Freddy Anne Wray taken as a shortened version from my mother's name; my Daughter suggested it and I thought it was a great idea!
My daughter and I started a sleep scarf business way back in 2016 but unfortunatly due to work and busy lives we didn't get it off the ground. So in 2019 when I was made redundant, I decided to make face masks for friends and family and with the subsequent growth I decided to open my Etsy shop and now my own website!
I have always had a passion for accessories and as an ex- technical clothing manager for luxury brands I understand the need for slow, sustainable fashion, producing well made products that last!
Sewing and manufacturing has been a hobby and my career for most of my life and because of this I already had the right sewing machines, cutting table, threads and equipment so it was not difficult to start.
Having daughters with ever changing hairstyles, lengths and differing hair textures, the need to have good night hair care has always been important. Hair scarves and bonnets that stayed on all night, kept hair moisturised, easy to wash and dry, laid and protected edges! was at the top of their lists so when one of my daughters invested in 56cms long Goddes braids I was tasked to find a night time solution!
So the 100cms long bonnet was born! It immediately solved the problem and has been a best seller in my shop from day one. Using a silky soft satin, that resists creasing, this bonnet is French seamed, has a fully enclosed head tie with no stitching against the skin, making it so comfortable you will forget that you have it on! The end is open and is elasticated so you can reach inside and pull your hair to the bottom with absolutely no bunching.
Currently, it is made in a single colour but plans are to make this bonnet fully reversible like the other styles of bonnets I sell.

PS. I offer a customisation service so if you need this style to be longer or shorter I can accommodate!
Hope to see you in my shop x
