Aim

Help me launch my shop in Manchester's Craft and Design Centre!


Hello, my name is Valery Touchet, I am a sustainable fashion designer based in Manchester, originally from Cameroon in Africa. I'm the person behind VTCreation! 

I am going to be launching a new shop in Manchester's Craft and Design Centre, selling my hand-made and personally-designed clothing and accessories. 

I'll be running the shop in partnership with my friend Olive. Our beautiful shop will be called 'Valé et Oli'!

I specialise in Sustainability! I'm a project worker in Manchester, using my skills to teach other people how to sew. Empowering them to reuse, alter and up-cycle garments to prevent them going to landfill and to save money. My shop will feature up-cycled and recycled products as well as new items made from sustainably sourced materials. 

I am looking for your support with some of the start up costs, in exchange for some special rewards!

Launching a shop is expensive, and requires up-front costs. It's time to get behind me as a Black woman maker to pre-order your reward to help me build the funds to get my shop up and running. 

Your support is going to help me order sustainably-sourced materials, print my original designs, fund some of the other upfront costs of making my products, and some of the first costs of running the shop. 

You'll pre-order your gift, then come and collect it from my shop in the Craft Centre!!

Find me at: Studio 17, Manchester Craft and Design Centre, 17 Oak St, Manchester M4 5JD. 

Thank you!! Merci beaucoup!
