GHQ artist and founder, Cassandra, hails from the prairie lands of Nebraska, USA, where she received much encouragement from her family to pursue her interests in art. Although as a child she insisted on drawing all over her trainers to the dismay of her parents, they supported her in her creative pursuits.

Upon completing her university degree focused on the Fine Arts, Art History and Art Education, and graduating cum laude for all of her hard efforts, Cassandra found herself at the front of the class, cast in the role of art teacher.

Two years of teaching, a hop across the pond and an illustrated children’s book later, she has finally realised her life’s ambition…”to make something that is unique and fun for people to enjoy.”

Gee How Quaint products are made by very skilled and lovely seamstresses. To date, we have worked with a total of 5 seamstresses from all over the UK to create our fabulous bags. We value the talent of local artisans and endeavour to use the skills that are practically on our doorstep. Without their hard work, amazing talents and creativity, Gee How Quaint would not exist.

We would like to specifically call attention to Carol, who has been onboard with Gee How Quaint since the beginning in 2005. Carol is a red-headed, lovable seamstress who digs all things arty! She likes to take the hands-on approach, working with raw materials to produce both the beautiful and the practical, from curtains to jewellery, bags to cushions, paintings to poetry... and she's working on the rest. Should you require made-to-measure curtains, bedding, or other interior products and happen to be living in Surrey, we highly recommend the sewing talents of Carol.
