About Me
I started Kit n Kaboodle 5 years ago whilst studying a BA printed textiles degree. My love of customising and owning clothing that no one else has, inspired me to start my own label. It has been slow but over the last few months my little label has grown a little bit more. Kit n Kaboodle t shirts have been sold in Cafe Mambo in Ibiza, Psyclone clothing and Acid Test clothing in Birmingham. I also have a Facebook group where people can come to me with their ideas for t shirts, hoodies and belts. I also specialise in customising jeans, you send me your threads and ill make them look bad!!!

Things I like
Graffiti, especaially Banksy, Temper and Replete. I love graphices, random pictures and things that people don't normally notice for example cranes! yes those big thigs that help build stuff!! the construction of them and the silouette against the sky is actuallt pretty amazing. I enjoy snowboarding, surfing and go breakdancing twice a week too...it beats the gym!

Things I dislike
Rude people, narrow mindedness and people who don't listen and go on about themselves! Oh and raw onions!

What I wear
I am an extremely versertile when it comes to my clothing! I am fortunate enough to get away with wearing lots of different things. I dress smart for work, then wear my XL mens baggy Nike grey bottoms and a hoody when i get home and am chilling. To go to a Drum and Bass and Breaks night ill wear my big G Star jeans and vest top with arm gloves and trainers and if im off out for a girlie night to a posh bar ill wear skinny jeans and a nice top with boots of heels! Im not too girlie and not too tomboy, im in between and like that style!

People I admire
Banksy, Steve Irwin, my partents, Mike Skinner from the streets, people who make it on their own with pure motivation and passion for something they love!

Brands I’m into
G Star (even though its gone commercial now, boo!) Adidas, O'Neill, Addict clothing and most surf and board brands plus Primark, but dosn't every girl!

Music I listen to
Drum and Bass, Breaks, Techno, House, Hip Hop, I am very open minded.

Favourite Films
Scarface, Blow and Human Traffic, noapolion dynamite and loads more too.

Art I like
Graffiti, anything that is produced with an areosol can is amazing!

Where I hang out
Chilling at home, Stylus in Leeds, friends houses and the park on a sunny day.

Favourite quotes
'everything happends for a reason' 'if its meant to be it will be'

Most happy when
Im printing my T shirts, with my friends and family, dancing, surfing and snowboarding.

Things I miss
Sunshine, beaches, the snowy mountains and friends who do not live near me.

Hopes and fears
I hope for Kit n Kaboodle to have its own shop. Starting something like this and being so serious about it is a fear in itself, but a kind of good fear as its something i am passionate about!

My words of wisdom
If your passionate about something, use that passion to get you where you want to be. It may take a while but just fuck it and do it!!

I probably shouldn’t say this but..
My t shirts are better than the crap you buy in the local shops!
