Chi-Chi Moi started almost by accident in 2005 by textile
artist Jan Ollis, who had trained in printed textiles before
becoming totally hooked (sorry about the pun) on crochet and
knit. Jan had original learned these skills as a young girl,
but did not use them professionally. It was whilst searching
unsuccessfully for a corsage to give as a present that she
decided to make one herself. The present was a great success
and soon word spread and the corsages began to be
sold in shops.
.
Now although Jan still makes many of the products herself, she
also employs a small team of talented craftspeople to help
her. She is constantly inspired to create new products, from
quirky knitted rings and retro inspired cushions to nostalgic
pearl corsages often using vintage materials in her designs.
.
Chi-Chi Moi products can be found in shops and galleries
around the country and also
online. It also offers a bespoke
design service, from small individual products to large
orders
and has been working with a large national company for several
years.
We hope you enjoy the ‘Chi-Chi Moi’ range as much as we
enjoying making them.
If you are wondering what ‘Chi-Chi Moi’ means, the loose
translation is fashionably frilly me.
