Ariike Ruban

I am a prolific maker and sewer.  I learnt from my mother who was a dressmaker.  I later on went to fashion school and ran my own fashion label for a while before changing course and training as a lawyer.  I practised law for almost 15 years until an unexpected interruption which fortunately led me back to my passion. I make everything from clothes to bags and now I have created a textile toy monkey  ('Tata') which is a registered UK design. I own 2 lables, Tata and Ariike Studio.  You will find me in my studio in South West London and on Sunday mornings at Flat Iron Square market in London selling my creations.
