Sophie Hallette

Bella Tela embroideries are purposely indulgent, using high stitch counts for that opulent feel. True works of art may be achieved through multi-colour palettes and unique tactile surfaces. Using state of the art modern machinery they explore multi layered textiles through a variety of stitch, bead and cord work.
Soft chiffon waves flow romantically yet powerfully in their voluminous fabrics.
Using quality materials and thoughtful manipulation techniques, we create enchanting floral gardens and elegant organic motifs. Always a pillar in their collections, they never fail to captivate both fashion and bridal designers.
100% silk chiffon exquisitely painted by hand; these artisan pieces are perfection. With vibrant, saturated colours, each and every one is original and unique in their own right.
Their glistening hand beaded designs merge traditional skills with imaginative contemporary trend driven ideas. Bringing in a mix of reflective and sheer surfaces their beadwork is distinctive and exciting.
Bella Tela endeavour to keep traditional skills alive in an everchanging digital world.
