This month we’re celebrating Valery Touchet a changemaker from our current Time to Grow programme.
Originally from Cameroon, she is a Manchester based sustainable fashion designer dedicated to reusing, altering, and upcycling garments, giving them a new lease of life and keeping them out of landfill sites.
Throughout April, Valery ran a crowdfund which Flourish also supported and managed to raise over £1300 to help open her shop Valé et Oli with her friend Olive at the Manchester arts and design center.
The shop will feature up-cycled and recycled products as well as handmade, one-of-a-kind designs made from sustainably sourced materials. Valery is also ran a Shibori Scarf workshop @manchestercraft on Saturday 18th May 2024 which was well attended!
