JAN CONSTANTINE launched her hand-embroidery business in 2002, creating an exquisite range of original designs for textiles and home accessories. The designs, inspired by some of Jan’s favourite things – love hearts, flags, the countryside and the seaside – are hand-worked on high-quality cottons, linens, wools and silks to create her signature cushions and other home accessories. The established brand now sells through its own website (www.janconstantine.com), as well as supplying Harrods, Liberty of London, Selfridges, Fortnum & Mason and John Lewis in the UK, Bergdorf Goodman in New York, and several independent shops around the world. Jan is the author of Heirloom Embroidery (9781906417031) and Love Stitching (9781906417536).
