Hello, I’m Isabel Knowles. This is a blog to document the workings, inspirations and ponderings behind my handmade clothing label ‘I K N O W’.

/ / / A B O U T \ \ \


Born in the English Riviera, but raised deep in the wilderness of rural Dartmoor, I went to London for a year to study at Chelsea College of Art. I now live back in Devon, & work from my little home studio.

I like to make stuff, it’s probably one of my favourite things in the world. When it turns out well. When it doesn’t turn out well I normally get angry & cry about it. Damn you Mary Berry & your lemon tart!

At the moment I am starting up a small business from my small studio. I am making dresses out of organic cotton & selling them (Etsy). I also screen print t-shirts, make recycled leather accessories, papier mache masks, do bespoke clothing & costumes for people… The hard thing is knowing where to stop. If I could make everything, I would. So let me know if you have any ideas?

Thank you for looking at my blog & please let me know if you do something interesting or boring that I might like. I like most things that are pretty, to do with patterns, sheds, old furniture, books with lots of pictures, cooking (& eating) desserts, homemade things, arty stuff, To Do videos… all the usual really!

I’m not claiming originality, but I enjoy the norm of the unconventional.
