Illustrating Success: The Story Behind a British Bespoke Brand with Fin Fellowes, Founder of The Kensington Paperie
Description
If you love bespoke brands, you will absolutely adore this episode, as we host Fin Fellowes, London-based artist, illustrator and founder of The Kensington Paperie.
For over a decade, Fin has been known for exquisite one-of-a-kind paper creations for special events, weddings, and luxury brands across the world. A notable example of this is the collaboration with Cabana Magazine and partnership with founder and editor, Martina Mondadori.
