Another seller who makes his own designs. He's quite quirky compared to Caroline Gallagher and, for me, much more casual. I have one of his tops in a mix of blue and cream striped fabric and a blue floral pattern with pinks and creams. I wore it today with navy leggings and navy suede boots and even the old boy on the check out at Sainsbury's commented on how lovely it was.
The fabric is a bit more heavyweight than CG and you have to buy the designs he has on offer but they're fun tops and you can usually pick them up for £25 plus postage.
The designer is called Chris and he is an absolute sweetheart.
For some reason I can't do links but the designs he has on there at the minute are very subdued for him. He will have more in the New Year I'm sure.
Just got my first EBL piece - this one! It's a bit big but I measured three of my Caroline tops, took an average and asked him could he do the measurement from that. He said he would be delighted to. Sold!!

He had two up today, one of which was just plain black material but lots of colours in the stitching. The one I bought I thought would be a good intro to his pieces - not really over the top, but it lets me see if I like the style first and then I can be a bit more adventurous next time! I love the really multi-patterned ones with checks and things.
He seems really nice from the brief email conversation I had with him.
Ah now I've worked out the link. I love it EB. Mine is in blues ... which unusual for me in the first place. Mine is split down the middle. One side is a blue background with pink flowers in a horizontal stripe pattern with an Aztec sort of print alternating with the floral. There are creams and neutrals in the pattern too. The other side is blue and cream stripes to about the waist and then its the floral/Aztec pattern to the hem. The sleeves are one in each fabric type.
EB is far more edgy than me, but we do like similar things. This is a really unusual choice for me but with navy leggings and navy knee high boots ... I love it! Its so easy to wear and it looks fun and casual. And that's something I don't do particularly well.
I really like the ones that are a mix of lots of different colours and patterns (sounds like yours Tink) but I also like to be a bit more subtle occasionally! I'm sure this won't be my only purchase from him so I will go for lairy patterns next time!
I hope he can help you Snarly and that you like it. I can't wait for mine to arrive. I bought it Saturday and he said he would post it first class on Monday (not bad considering he is altering it for me too!) so I am hoping it will arrive tomorrow.
