the blossoms
Blossom is run by Jeanne Maritz and Sandy Mitchell.
Jeanne is behind the exclusive modern classic Tomiko range. Each garment individually handcrafted and styled. They are embellished with Jeanne's whimsical embroidery, which she also applies to curtains and table runners. Blossom benefits from her many years of experience as a stylist in the advertising industry.
"My aim for our dresses is to hand craft them with love and laughter, using only pure cotton, linen, silks and whatever takes our fancy.....Creating a unique look for Blossom each season."

Sandy is an illustrator and fabric artist, responsible for much of the applique and embroidery in Blossom. She also makes Scootah ceramics for children with Muizenberg potter, Tessa Gawith. Sandy has written and published 2 books Wild Iris Herbal Handbook (Quivertree 2003) and just released, Feeling Sheepish (Xlibris 2009). Both books are available from Blossom. She also illustrated Balaklava boy by Jenny Robson.(Tafelberg 2009). Go to Sandy's website for more.
