Laura worked in the fashion industry for over a decade designing luxury accessories. To travel and surf was her temporary escape from the constraints and pressures of working within the world of constantly changing seasons and fast fashion. Surfing is her release, her therapy, and her motivation. Whilst on surf trips, all over the world, her passion for design inspired her to collect unique pieces created by local artisans. Skills used by the artisans are passed down over the generations creating long lasting pieces that never lose any of their charm or appeal.

As an avid surfer Laura has total respect for the ocean.  Her concern for indigenous communities and the destruction of our ecosystem has led her to work with natural and sustainable products.

Laura was on a surf trip in Morocco when she first encountered the handcrafted pieces created by the Berber women in the Atlas Mountains. She was completely enthralled by the originality, the colours, the textures and the fascinating stories hand-woven into each piece.  The LKT ethos is to engage with the artists, provide insights into their inspirations and traditional ways of working and to make these individual pieces more accessible for everyone to enjoy.
