Marion Gorr started trading textiles in the 1980's. Her family tradition in textiles goes back a while, her mother was a professional dressmaker for many years and taught garment upcycling way back in the 70's in Hastings New Zealand at night school - when many beautiful handwoven tweeds were appearing as disgarded garments in op shops.
Growing up with such a background and spending most of her early years with grandmother Annie Wright who did fine needlework, crochet, lacemaking and dressmaking, instilled a love of the cloth and thread that is inculcated as an important part of life. The collections are now shared with you.

At Beautiful Silks we are always working to eliminate plastic from our supply stream. We ask our suppliers not to pack each item in plastic bags, our supplies are packed in string tied bundles, with at the most one large plastic bag per box. The bags are recycled into other storage packages. If you dislike the wave of plastic that comes to you, you can now request an eco parcel.
