After joining Tradelinens from FMCG giants Nestle, I stepped into the role of Marketing Director. During my tenure, I spearheaded the creation of the Tielle retail brand and established a successful e-commerce revenue stream. Witnessing the ever-evolving hospitality industry over the past decade, I’ve navigated challenges and growth. The last 4 years, marked by the pandemic, tested even seasoned managing directors, and it was indeed a baptism of fire. Tradelinens and Tielle continue to thrive though, in no small part thanks to a formidable and experienced team, with a passion to adapt and grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThis years IWD theme is ‘Invest In Women’, can you tell us a bit about the training and support Tradelinens invests in for its female employees?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a female-led team with over 70% female staff, we take pride in investing in our employees.

Hybrid working arrangements and part-time work patterns ensure flexibility and support for our team members. As headline sponsors for the trailblazing Boutique Hotelier “Women in Hotels”, an event in it’s second year now which celebrates and encourages the success of women in hospitality, we are delighted to be further extending our investment in women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat gets you up in the morning?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy children usually get me out of bed!

Then throughout school I think it became apparent quite early on that I was far more in tune with the more creative subjects - it was certainly where I’d dedicate most of my energy and time. Once it was time to choose a direction for further education, I opted to study textiles at college, having gained a fascination with fabrics, textures and materials during my formative years. It was then the easiest decision for me to pursue the subject further and carry on the textiles journey at Bath School of Art and Design. It was here where I was really able to start expressing myself and finding my (initial) style. When you find something you love to do, I think it just makes perfect sense to try and give it your all; and if you can, turn it into something you can do everyday and build a career around.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow did CHICKPEA come to life? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAfter I graduated in 2016, I felt a bit lost and didn’t quite know what to do next or how to turn my passion into a business. Luckily, I bumped into my now partner, Will, at a Christmas temp job we’d both taken to get some income. He had studied business at university, so when I expressed my desire to turn my ideas into a business, he was more than happy to guide me on how to get started. Shortly after, I set up CHICKPEA in January 2017 out of my garden studio in Winchester. The brand name is made up from a mixture of family nicknames between me and my two sisters - chicken and pea. The first collection was based around a textiles sample I designed at university, inspired by stationery compositions I had created. That’s when CHICKPEA really came to life!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat led you to use the materials you do for CHICKPEA products, i.e. Lambswool and duck feather ? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eI experimented with lambswool yarn at university and instantly felt a connection and affinity towards the material. I adored how the material could be manipulated through knitting and washing, to create something that felt so soft and luxurious. Once I discovered lambswool and its characteristics, I never looked back and focused all my time on it. Then the reason I use duck feather for the cushion pads simply comes down to wanting to add further luxury and pair the lambswool with a contemporary that complements it. There is nothing quite like a plump duck feather cushion to sink into at the end of a long day!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou create a wide range of new patterns and colourways, where do you find the inspiration for your designs?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAt first, all the designs for my first collection were inspired by stationery patterns. I would spend days experimenting on the floor, trialling different items with each other, seeing what patterns and textures would emerge and work together. Ultimately, the collection centred around graph paper and pen lids; the paper providing grids and the pen lids offering a contrast in colour and a definitive end to the pattern. More recently, the designs for the newer collections have been adaptations of the original collection and exploring stripes. I love stripes. There was a time where you would only ever see me wearing stripes. Whilst I don’t wear them as much now, I am so in love with them in my designs and how they add boldness to products and spaces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/2357\/9825\/files\/CHICKPEA_x_Tielle_6_480x480.jpg?v=1708528778\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/2357\/9825\/files\/CHICKPEA_x_Tielle_6_480x480.jpg?v=1708528778\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStyling my products with Tielle linen was a match made in heaven.

Items in the home, such as bedding, that used to offer the splash of colour, will instead offer the neutrality and freshness that the rest of the room\/home will be built upon, effectively inverting how many people tend to build in colour currently. I also think now that society is becoming far more focussed on sustainability, nic nacs, art and other flea market finds will be what adds personality to spaces inside our homes. Antique and mid-century pieces either found out and about or handed down through the generations will be what become the focal points in curated spaces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen designing your own home and bedroom, what were the most important things to you?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCreating a fresh and comforting space to relax. My mum always says, you can never have too many cushions and I definitely live by that motto! I therefore start with a lovely, neutral colour palette for bedding and throws and build up from there. Using the crisp white or linen as a backdrop, I then build on that with bold colours in my cushion covers. For the rest of the room, I love handmade pieces to add interest and texture and artwork for additional colour. Most importantly, it’s all about creating a space you love and will enjoy whilst not limiting yourself to current trends.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/2357\/9825\/files\/CHICKPEA_x_Tielle_Rust_480x480.jpg?v=1708518488\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/2357\/9825\/files\/CHICKPEA_x_Tielle_Rust_480x480.jpg?v=1708518488\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat are some easy ways to add design flourishes to your home?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWalls\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e: It’s easy to default to white or a neutral tone when painting a room but adding colour or pattern to the walls can transform a space into something that’s expressing an element of design or a personal take on a trend. You can then break up the colour with neutral base layers, like white bedding and linen throws, before building it up again with accessories.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLayering textiles: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ein the bedroom especially, using bedding as a blank canvas allows you to add personality through cushions and throws etc. Layering and mixing colours and textures creates a unique space that enables you to express your personality. Also, these pieces are never a permanent fixture; I love the idea that you can change cushion covers and blankets and you can create a whole new vibe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLighting: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ethis plays a huge part in creating a space. It’s often left until last and hidden in the background but there are so many cool statement lamps or lampshades which can add a quick and simple element of design to your home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNature:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e bringing the outdoors in adds another element of interest to a space. Fresh flowers or green plants brighten a space. It also gives you an easy extra item to work with when styling and acts as a wonderful contrast against neutral colour items you may use for bedding or furniture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDiscover Harriett’s amazing products at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.harriettgrist.com\/\"\u003ewww.harriettgrist.com\u003c\/a\u003e and use code \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTiellexCHICKPEA\u003c\/strong\u003e for 10% off. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBe sure to also follow Harriett over on Instagram for more incredible styling updates - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chickpeabyhg\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chickpeabyhg\/ \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","blog_id":78732820657,"author":"Milly Kirby","user_id":84659011798,"published_at":"2024-02-21T15:25:14+00:00","updated_at":"2024-02-26T10:19:46+00:00","summary_html":"","template_suffix":"","handle":"interview-with-luxury-knitwear-brand-chickpea","tags":"type:Things We Love","image":{"created_at":"2024-02-21T12:32:19+00:00","alt":"","width":2800,"height":1867,"src":"\/\/tielleloveluxury.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/articles\/CHICKPEA_x_Tielle_4.jpg?v=1708518740"}}
