The fabric’s used in Melanie’s Álainn collection are first cut into shapes, then each piece is individually melted. Then created into individual designs, sometimes working to a particular customer colour choice. Melanie’s Steampunk collection is made from Old Watches which have long since stopped working, she uses the parts along with Swarovski crystals and other beads to make unique designs.
