I had short hair for most of my 30s and 40s, and then as soon as I started to grow it, it was in my eyes. I wanted to hold it back with something that was pretty, yet elegant and subtle enough to work with my professional and home lives. I found a few options that wouldn't look more at home on a little girl, but not many. So, using the skills I've built up over a lifetime of sewing, I decided to make my own.
I decided on "Pacific Grace" as a shop name because my initials are PG, both my home countries are in the Pacific ocean, and, I think it suggests the elegant look I am aiming for with my designs.
My creative space is a spare bedroom, always referred to as 'the sewing room'. I'm lucky to have space for 2 sewing tables, 1 cutting table, and 2 large scotch chests full of my stash of fabric and other supplies. As my hair accessories are made almost exclusively by hand, I can also work on them in the sunshine (unless it's so hot I need the air con), or in the living room in the evenings.
I love luxurious fabrics like silk and embroideries, so my combs and clips are made using those elements. All the fabrics are re-purposed from other items or owners, so they are as sustainable as I can make them.
I started my Etsy shop to make my designs available to other women who are looking for an elegant and graceful way to pin their hair up or back. You'll find designs that will work with professional outfits and everyday at home looks, as well as a few bold colours to add a bit of oomph or fun to your look. I hope you love them as I do.
