a long shot?

















Christine and I thought it was about time I stopped blathering about how much I love Howies clothing and took some action. Inspired by Howies' 10 stunts for summer, we did our own little fashion shoot of Howies clothes and Green Beach jewellery and sent them to the founders of Howies. Here's the email:-

Dear David & Clare

Head South East for 60 miles and you'll find two believers in a better way of living. We believe in the simple life - shopping local, growing veggies, breathing plenty of fresh air - both enjoying and respecting our beautiful planet. Unsuprisingly, we are believers in Howies too.

The two of us like nothing more than sitting in our seaside gardens creating ethical jewellery, using recycled and fairly traded beads with organic hemp twine. We are inspired by our awesome Gower coastline and have sourced recycled glass pendants that evoke 'washed-up sea jewels'. Our style is relaxed and suits Howies clothing well - we know, we wear it.

Its a bit of a long shot, but we thought you might be interested in using our range on your models in the next Howies catalogue. To give you a quick idea, we have done our own fashion shoot (using an over 40, size 14 model - yes they love Howies too) combining Howies clothing with Green Beach (that's us) jewellery.

Check it out for yourselves, read our blog and let us know if we're in range of the target.

Peace
Ella & Christine


Since sending this, I hear that Howies is going to open its first shop in London. Here's hoping that the second one is in Wales.
