Ferret & Fern
Nature inspired illustrations and handmade accessories
At Ferret & Fern you’ll find design and illustration inspired by the colors, textures and characters Emma sees in nature.
In keeping with her love of nature, she aims to source her materials as responsibly as possible. She uses second hand fabric sourced from clothing, fabric and remnants found at thrift stores and recycling centers. When larger quantities and consistent fabrics are required, she buys ethically sourced silk and cotton, buying organic when possible.
