Hello, how are you?

It’s been a while. I hope you are doing okay as we near the end of 2023.

After my last update in 2021, so much has happened that I have found it hard to know what to share. I know life has looked remarkably different for most of us since then.

In November 2020, I wrote about being in the throes of facing things and seeking a new way forward. The inevitability of this process turned out to be much more challenging than I anticipated.

I can convey now that I found myself at the lowest point of my depression. I did not know how to find a way through it. At times, when I felt I couldn’t endure it any more, I wanted to give up. Even with a lot of love around me, it was the loneliest place I have ever experienced. I have had to find a way back to feeling joy again in life and in the things I used to love. I am fortunate to have some pretty amazing people in my life who have helped me to find joy in life again and in the things I used to love. By also seeking additional help, I started to feel a lot less pain.

I know this is probably not the start of an update you envisaged. Still, continuing to talk about depression continues to normalise it, which can only be a positive thing. And for anyone reading who has ever found themselves there or is in that place now, I have a lot of love for you and the pain you might be feeling. You have the strength within you. It might not feel like that now, but you do. Trust in yourself. Keep fighting.

On a brighter note, I am thrilled to share with you today that I have made a lot of headway with LEUT.

I only have a few more things to add until the site is ready to take pre-orders.

A few of the first samples have found some beautiful bodies to adorn, allowing me to hear valuable feedback; thank you, ladies. Thank you to everyone else who has offered their thoughts and support since I started LEUT.

Light but luxurious and with pockets!

Made in London, the first design will be available in two size ranges. Size 1 (UK Sizes 6-12) and Size 2 (UK Sizes 12-16). Based on the Kimono style, they are an oversized fit. The sleeves are flowy and wide, and it comes with a detachable belt.
The fabric is 100% silk, with a slight weave adding a little weight, allowing it to drape beautifully and give a luxurious feel.

The placement of the design alters slightly on each Kimono, allowing every piece to be unique.
I will offer a limited number of Kimonos with the first design on a pre-order basis.

With much more to come, I will send further information via email when we are ready to take orders. To receive those, sign up here. You can always email me if you have any questions.

Thanks for reading!
