25 Years Of Tatty interviews
Collectors Spotlight

“All about Tatty Devine, collecting and collecting Tatty Devine. We have always been avid collectors of a plethora of things (not to mention zines), and to some extent, these objects and ideas fueled Tatty Devine.

As we celebrate 25 years of working together, the world we’ve created and YOU, our amazing customers, we’ve collected Tatty Devine tales and stories that you, our customers, have shared with us: from what our art jewellery means to you to memories marked by acrylic mementoes.” - Rosie Wolfenden MBE, Tatty Devine Co-founder

Let’s take a peek inside our zine as we meet our Collectors and hear a snippet of their very own Tatty Devine stories. Wanna hear more? Collect your free copy via our website now!

JEMMA MILLMAN
Me and my friend, Divya connected through our shared love of Tatty Devine, we finally met in person just before a Tatty Devine workshop.

LIANRE ROBINSON 
I wear my favourite necklace when I need to feel brave or want to add some humour to uplift me when I’m sad.

EMMA BEEDEN
Even on days when I'm in too much pain because of my disability, I can put a necklace on and it makes me feel 100 times better.

BECKY BARNES
My best friend, Sara, bought me the sweetest musical note necklace from a 'little boutique' she’d discovered. I fell in love with it, and it was something I could wear when she wasn't there.

JOANNA HARTE
Wearing Tatty Devine jewellery makes me feel like my real self.

SARAH O’BRIEN
I’ve been a Tatty Devine customer since almost the beginning. I used to get the new collection catalogues in the post and be so excited about what to buy. 

TOMI PLATTS
My collection is mostly necklaces and then brooches: I stopped counting when my collection went over 200 pieces.

Discover the full story plus even more, from our Co-founders' collections, more of our Collectors’ personal jewellery to music we’ve collected over 25 years of Tatty Devine in our All About Collecting Zine.
