The Welsh mum and daughter selling hand-made fashion straight to the rich and famous

A mother and daughter Wales have turned down high street interest in their successful independent fashion business. Lettie and Sally Pattinson are the brains behind The Design Studio or TDS - where they create unique and "one of a kind" jackets.

Each jacket is made as uniquely as possible, and has proven to be an enormously popular signature of theirs. Celebrities such as model Suki Waterhouse and Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner have both been pictured wearing the pairs jackets.

According to the duo from Hawarden, Flintshire, the secret to their success has been "staying true" to themselves and not being enticed by big corporations at the expense of selling their soul. Daughter Lettie also believes it is down to their appeal of being a mother and daughter team who hand design everything themselves.
