What is your business name?
The Clip Bowtique
The Clip Bowtique
Your name?
Antonia, but I go by Tonia because my name is always mispronounced
How long have you been in business?
Just under 2 years
Why did you decide to start your own business?
I have been sewing and creative for as long as I can remember but I started creating a more indie/bespoke style of accessories because I have a huge love for American crafts and I found a lack of these available in Australia. Also, I have a huge respect for any hand crafted items and couldn't find any that I liked for my own daughter.

What do you make and sell?
I make a range of things and love to dabble. My first love is felt so I create hair clips and headbands out of felt. I am felt obsessed. I also make wool and felt wreaths, felt garlands, felt mobiles, felt key rings, felt flower crowns, felt ball necklaces, sock monkeys and a few different types of softies.

Tell us a little about yourself, children, interests etc.
I'm a born and bred Sydney-sider but truly believe I should have been born in the USA. I love all things American. I have a gorgeous pigeon pair - Mr 6 and Miss 3. I have a beautiful husband who is in the defence and often deployed. The only upside to him being away is that I can spend all night, every night creating and be guilt free about the mess I make and the zombie features that I am sporting the next day. I am a classical guitarist, cricket champion and I make killer chicken schnitzel. My brain is always bursting with ideas - I just wish there were more hours in the day.
How can customers find you?
I have a Facebook page and an email address. Details for both are:www.facebook.com/theclipbowtique and theclipbowtique@gmail.com
What is your business philosophy?

When purchasing something from The Clip Bowtique, please know that a huge amount of love, care, creativity and precision have gone into creating every single item. I truly am lucky enough to absolutely love what I do and am always excited by the idea of producing fun, spunky, original little creations.
