From interior design to fashion Just over two years after having set up Asha’s Inspired Living, Barbara Katavich expands her emporium into fashion. Asha’s Attire opened in The Bazaar on West Street in Oundle in October, opposite the original shop, with the vision of giving customers an enjoyable shopping experience for easyto- wear clothing at affordable prices with excellent customer service.
Barbara’s own passion for beautiful everyday style with quirky details is refl ected in her choice of brands stocked in Asha’s Attire. Sandwich is a Dutch clothing company whose innovative designs and quality fabrics really make their clothing stand out from the crowd. Suzy D is affordable Italian fashion styling at its best, with outstanding knitwear, jersey and accessories to give your outfi t the edge on others. Braintree is an eco clothing company from Australia, now based in London, with a simple philosophy to design.
The range is made from sustainable fi bres such as hemp, bamboo and organic cotton which are great to wear, whilst caring for the environment. In addition, Asha’s Attire stocks a wide selection of fashion jewellery and fi ne handcrafted leather bags and purses; each piece of leather is cut individually before being handcrafted. An exclusive range of cashmere hats, gloves, wraps, sweaters and ponchos, specially made for Asha’s, is due anytime soon.
Asha’s Inspired Living was set up in September 2012 and Barbara’s creative fl are and love for interior design is apparent within the shop. She wanted to pass on her experience from the world of interiors to help customers create designs in their own homes with the excellent home wear and accessories on display, as well as furniture. Taking on the Annie Sloan Chalk Paints was the natural next step to enhance the interior spectrum at Asha’s. The paints were introduced in July 2013 and, at the same time, Barbara took on the main distribution for the Annie Sloan range in this area. Asha’s stocks the full range of Annie Sloan products, which can transform furniture into something breath-taking and wonderful.
Asha’s can help you with your personal furniture painting project, with advice and tips at their offi cial Annie Sloan workshops, which are held in the fabulous paint studio in The Bazaar. The Introductory Work-shops show you how to create distressing and ageing techniques, whereas the Advanced Work-shops cover gilding, decoupage and stencilling with a modern twist on a vintage look. You can also participate in a Lampshade Workshop where you create your very own lampshade, choosing a fabric from the workshop range and developing the basic skills of shade making. For full details of any of the workshops available at Asha’s, please call in at the shop or call the number below. Individual workshops are also listed in What’s On.
Asha’s is open Tuesday through Saturday 9am to 5pm. Mondays closed. Asha’s Attire and Asha’s Inspired Living The Bazaar, West Street, Oundle, PE8 4EJ Tel: 01832 275605 Find us on Facebook: ashasinspiredliving
