Their story
Jo Waterhouse runs Hadley from Totnes, Devon. Before Hadley she was an antique dealer in London, which explains a lot: the love of pattern, old paper, odd little details and things with a past. Designs still begin as original artwork, whether collage, drawing, painting or print, and may include pieces snipped from old books, magazines and antique paper. There is plenty of craft in the process, but thankfully not too much solemnity.

Why we chose them
Hadley caught our eye because the work has personality. It is colourful, witty and sometimes a little odd in the best possible way. The cards feel like things you might keep rather than throw away, the wrapping paper becomes part of the gift, and even the sketchbooks make a desk more interesting. We started with the pieces that made us smile, made us look twice, or simply felt too good to leave behind.
