Welcome to Isla de Gar. A place of joy, togetherness, warmth and beauty.
When Founder and Creative Director, Emma Garner, found herself on furlough and living back at her parent’s house during the pandemic, and with all the time in the world, she returned to what she had always loved - making.
Having spent a few years working as a handbag designer for both high end and high street retailers, she returned to her roots as a textiles student and began to experiment with 3D surfaces and sculpture. Finding inspiration in the natural world around her, slowly, over months, intricately crocheted bags took shape and the Hive was born.
Taking inspiration from architecture and sculptures, the bags are structured to stand on their own, holding form and bringing a premium feel. Isla de Gar focus on minimal hardware and less fuss, they focus on the beauty in linking, overlapping and making connections through the art of crochet.
Each piece is also handmade to order in London by a team of designers and makers, and when you receive your bag, you’ll see it signed by one of the team - a fingerprint of the work and love that has gone into making it.
