My name is Carole Brothers, I am a Doll-maker and now, a mask and headband maker as well due to Covid-19. I began making dolls in 1999 after noticing that there were very few dolls that reflected both my African American heritage and Christian values. I decided to use my creative spirit to create beautifully unique and cultured one-of-a-kind pieces. I use paints, dyes, textiles, mixed media, and surface manipulation to design dolls, figurines, and wall art. Each dolls has a story and is hand-crafted personally by me. I also began creating masks for donation and purchase during Covid-19 for every mask purchased I donate one masks to someone in need. My mask are made according to CDC guideline and are not only fashionable but do the job to keep you safe. <3

Love your body. Love Yourself. Agrestal – to grow wild in cultivated fields – unprocessed, raw. Agrestal Beauty is a skincare line deeply rooted in the philosophy that we as humans reflect and embody nature. We are all flowers growing in this garden of life. To blossom, flowers welcome and bask in the energy from the earth and the sun – both positive and negative. We are all working to blossom into our best selves; and just as flowers do, when greeted with positive or negative energy, we must be open to both. BLOOM! We are all on a journey of self-growth and learning to be at peace with whatever the universe brings us – although each journey may require a different path. Our mission is to promote a culture of growth, self-love, and self-compassion all while through falling in love with our natural selves. Through this journey that we all experience, let us vow to spread love and empower others. Agrestal Beauty is more than its products – it’s a lifestyle. A journey. Agrestal Beauty was born in the summer of 2017. During that time, I embarked on a soul-searching journey, longing to discover self-love, self-worth, and a deeper understanding of the woman that I wanted to become. For me, therapy acted as a catalyst, jump-starting my journey towards self-love. I realized that I would never be as great as destined without loving myself fully and unconditionally. Although I understood that, it was the most challenging concept to put into practice. Simultaneously, I was working to envision an all-natural skincare line. I tested products on my friends throughout the years, creating recipes and teaching myself about skincare. I developed a passion for plant-based skincare and discovered the harsh chemicals in our everyday skincare products. My vision was to create an effective, natural and handmade skincare line that offered a sense of luxury. It wasn't until my two worlds -- self-love and skincare -- collided, and Agrestal Beauty was truly born. My line was more than plant-based skincare products; it now served a purpose and had a deep-seated mission. The purpose was and still is to spread self-love with every product, message and image. Agrestal Beauty was born from my personal journey & I wanted to share it with the world. Spreading self-love, growth, and self-compassion by having people fall in love with their most natural self - in their own skin is at the core of this brand. My products are created and rooted in helping everyone fall in love with themselves. I hope you enjoy my products as much as I enjoyed creating them and that they serve as your daily reminder to choose yourself always.

Ahluwalia combines elements from founder Priya Ahluwalia’s dual Indian-Nigerian Heritage and London roots, and explores the potential of vintage and dead stock clothing by giving existing textiles and traditional techniques a new life. The unique design process includes photographing her own research as well as re-considering a traditional mens wardrobe through working with responsible sourcing and manufacturing techniques. Ahluwalia launched her eponymous label in 2018, after graduating from the MA Menswear course at The University of Westminster and winning the H&M Design Award 2019. In 2020, Ahluwalia became one of the eight brands to win the LVMH Prize 2020 and was noted on the Forbes 30 under 30 on the European Arts and Culture List. The label also became part of the Matches Fashion’s Innovators programme which champions emerging design talent through mentorship, preferential business terms and marketing. In November it was announced that Ahluwalia would be taking part in GucciFest and showcasing their first feature film, Joy, with Gucci’s support. In December 2020, Ahluwalia was named a People Honoree at the Fashion Awards. Priya Ahluwalia has published two books. The most recent publication is called Jalebi and brings together several strands of Ahluwalia’s work into an expression of what it means to be a young mixed heritage person living in modern Britain. Photographed by Laurence Ellis, the narrative swaps between real and imagined as it reminisces of the designer’s own growing up and regularly visiting Southall, Britain’s first Punjabi community. The first book, titled Sweet Lassi, was inspired by a 2017 trip to her family in Lagos, Nigeria where the designer spotted people wearing obscure British clothing – including a London Marathon 2012 shirt. Following this, she went on a trip to Panipat in India, the global garment recycling capital of the world, where she photographed the environment that signifies the relationship of cultural heritage and the issues around sustainability in the West. Also a snapshot of the brand’s first collection for SS19, this edition marks the inception of the Ahluwalia ethos. Ahluwalia’s work has been featured in numerous global publications including BBC, New York Times, CNN, Vogue and GQ. Ahluwalia’s list of international stockists counts Browns, MatchesFashion, Ssense, LN-CC, Sivasdescalzo, htown, Nubian and more.
