HEY THERE!
I’m the sole-creator behind Ocelot and work from my home studio in sunny ol’ Yorkshire, England.
As much as I loved working in luxury fashion, seeing things from the inside changed my values and reinforced my vision to do things differently for my own small brand.
At Ocelot, I create slowly and thoughtfully. A non-seasonal brand that's all about beautiful fits, timeless designs and responsibly-made pieces that you LOVE and want to wear A LOT.
I utterly adore the art of dressmaking. There's a real joy in creating something uniquely for each customer. Collaborating with my clients and brides is especially rewarding, either to personalise their garments or creating custom one-of-a-kind looks.
But it’s not all about the clothes - I’m on a mission to create a community through my dresses with each piece raising money for charity and spreading as much joy as possible.

INSIDE THE LABEL...
In 2023, I made a commitment to Give Back, pledging 5% of every order to charity at the end of each year. This ambition to make a positive impact through the brand has now become a driving force.
So, when you purchase from me, you're not just getting a beautifully crafted dress – you're joining a joyous movement, spreading love, and helping me make a positive impact on the world around us ❤️
The donation for last year went to Simon on the Streets - a wonderful Yorkshire charity that supports people struggling with homelessness.
In a world overwhelmed with fast fashion, Ocelot champions quality and conscious choices over throwaway trends.
Our Made-to-Order approach promotes fair, sustainable and ethical practices, all while celebrating your individuality.
Each piece is carefully crafted specifically for you, with the options for custom sizing and personalised details that reflect your own style. Every Ocelot piece will seamlessly fit into your wardrobe to be worn on repeat, season after season.
Working this way avoids wasteful overproduction and the environment is all the happier for it.
Sustainability is woven through the heart of Ocelot.
I exclusively use eco-friendly and deadstock fabrics, which are gentle on both skin and the planet.
Our eco-friendly materials adhere to stringent environmental standards and deadstock fabrics breathe new life into unused designer materials.
Packaging is FSC certified, recyclable, and free from plastics and other nasty substances.
By repurposing existing materials, sourcing locally, and crafting each piece to order, we're already doing our part to be as kind to the planet as possible.
With every order you place, we partner with Ecologi to plant a tree, offsetting our impact even further.
Continuously exploring new avenues to reduce our environmental impact ensures that your purchase contributes to a healthier planet and fosters better practices within the clothing industry.
