Unique Handmade Products
Alesney Designs is the creation of Alison & Lesley. We are two sisters, who after a lifetime of traveling the world for business, settled in Lymington. Continuing our love for all things connected to needlework and knitting, a tradition begun as very young girls, we needed an outlet for our energy and creative spirits. Thus, upon our retirement from careers in high end retailing, Alesney Designs was born.
All of our products are individually handmade just by the two of us. Our aim is to bring a sense of style and whimsy to what are, in effect, everyday prosaic textile items. We want to combine total functionality with high quality fabrics and unique designs. As we make each item it is no problem to modify them to our customers’ individual requirements, including personalisation.
In addition to being able to purchase online, click link above. Our primary outlet for all of our products is the Lymington Market every Saturday 8am-3pm (weather dependant).
We can also be found in the Craft Tent at the New Forest Show at the end of July each year and at the annual Romsey Food Festival at the beginning of September.
Our products are generally made using only upholstery weight cottons for quality and durability.
We recommend washing at 30 degrees or less to keep colours sharp. We source our fabrics from all over including the UK, Germany and the US. All the insulation we use is a modern insulation from the US which is lightweight, flexible and washable called Insul Bright.
