No, seriously, WHO is she???
So glad you asked...
Hairy Mary is a London-based, independent, slow fashion brand founded by Rosie Barton. Every goddamn piece is handmade, either by her or her small team of aficionados, Jason Donavan and a collective of blind nuns (choose what to believe here). The pieces draw inspiration from Hairy’s own Celtic heritage, they are punky, funky, lacey, racy, frilly and silly…. And either Hairy should have had a jolly silly old time making them or you should have a jolly willy-nilly old time wearing them. In Hairy’s world, seriousness is reserved for; games of The Weakest Link, metal detecting, and breaking revelations like finding out David is in fact not dead, but Dumbledoor is.
More about the clothes, she hears you shriek… Hairy doesn't want to be that d*ckhead fueling the fire that’s burnin’ through ye olde ozone. So all her wavy garbs are made from a variety of very much alive dead stock, eclectic off cuts, vintage tablecloths, antique napkins, retro tea towels, repurposed kilts, Helena Bonham-Carters discarded petticoats and anything else ethically sourced that Hairy can get her mitts on.
If you weren’t already jumping for joy and stripping to your knickers then here’s one more thing to send you sideways, 5% of all profits are donated to Maggie’s Centre, in memory of Hairy’s mother who taught her all she knows about sewing, and boobs (OMG BOOBS?!?) are hand-embroidered on each piece to reflect this commemoration and donation.
So now we all know Hairy is a selfless, morally outstanding, smug little wench, anything else? Well, when Hairy’s not cracking the whip, whirling like a dervish or designing herself into a three piece tartan tablecloth frenzy, she likes to stalk David Beckham, fish without a rod license and attend covert meetings of the magic circle.
She thanks you for your time and hopes that you’ll now join her quest to turn her rags into riches.
And that, my good sir, is that….
