We here at the Runoff know what the most important thing in life is. Love? No. Giving birth? No, it’s looking good. And come Friday you’ll be spreading the love in all the wrong ways if you’re not rocking a face covering. So we’re here to lead you in the right direction.
The other day we were sitting in Vanilla Black and noticed that the staff were sporting some quite fetching head gear. Avoiding the temptation to say, ‘hey is that a coughy filter’, we kept it professional and asked the manager for more information. She led us in the direction of a local creative type who started making masks as a side project when her business dried up as a result of The Event.
Hannah Walley doesn’t actually live in Greater Kennington (we all make mistakes, hey ho) but she worked here for many years and has a understandable fondness for the place. She started making the masks in May for friends and now they are catching on like a viru…..umm….wildfire.
Hannah’s face coverings are 100% cotton, have soft elastic, machine washable, and come in a variety of patterns or made to order. At 1 for £12.50, 3 for £33 or 5 for £50 they aren’t the cheapest things out there, but we have a feeling face coverings are the new normal. It’s also best to be at the cusp of a fashion wave while keeping it local.
Hannah can be reached via Instagram at @hannahloveslondon or you can pop her an email at Hannah@hlwconsulting.co.uk. Or if you like the face to face treatment they sell an assortment at Vanilla Black itself.
