THE BRAND
Welcome to Into The Willows - an independent brand dedicated to designing and creating a wide range of beautiful, one-of-a-kind items. Some of which can be personalised and made-to-order.
​
My key custom-made products are miniature wedding dress replicas and personalized wedding stationery/items. I also offer ready-to-buy dolls miniatures and a variety of giftware & accessories. However if there is anything specific you would like me to make, please contact me directly with any of your queries or requests.
​
All items are lovingly designed and handcrafted here at the studio in Glasgow. I try to be as sustainable as possible, utilizing what I can with little waste; upcycling, using and sourcing scraps of fabrics, threads or trims on many of the brand's miniatures and giftware items.​
MEET THE CREATOR
Hey! I'm Samantha/Sammie, the owner/designer/crafter of Into The Willows. Here's a bit about myself and the brand origin...
​
As part of a creative family, I tried variety of arts and crafts from
a young age, including my Nana teaching me to sew clothes for my Bratz & Barbie dolls as a child. That was when I decided that I wanted to study fashion, which I eventually did for 6 years.
Upon graduating I had my own shop/studio space where I made ready-to-wear clothing/accessories, made-to-order occasion wear such as bridesmaid/prom and offered alteration services.
​
Growing up in Yorkshire and looking for a new adventure, I moved to Glasgow in 2014 and began my decade long career as a multi product, fashion designer for industry. However I longed to start making things and finding more personal creativity again, this led me to start Into The Willows. With 18 years experience in all things fashion design & sewing, I wanted to create a brand and products that utilize these skills, mixed with my own passions, creative style and the desire for something a little unique.
​
With a nod to my origins of making dolls clothes and love of occasion wear/bridal, I had the idea of miniature dress replicas. I also wanted to offer dolls clothing/homeware (because I just love miniature things) and a variety of giftware items, using my experience in design and trend work, mixed with my own inspirations taken from nature and architecture.
​
I've taken the plunge to pursue this full time and I am so excited to share my passion with you all. Hope you love it as much as I do!
