More about Tahlia, Founder of Tahlia Paige
Tahlia started her textiles journey in school, and went on to study surface pattern design at University in Cardiff. The business was launched in 2021 after graduating during the lockdown, and keeping track of a hedgehog visitor on a trail camera.
'I love gift-giving, I think it's a lovely way to show someone that you listen to them, support their interests, and show your love. Naturally it's what I wanted to make, and I loved the idea of giving a gift with a story, a story about a species in trouble, that keeps the conversation going about our endangered species. Plus they make very cute patterns!'
In her free time, Tahlia enjoys reading, which has of course inspired a whole collection of bookish gifts. She won't go far without her kindle. She also loves spending time with her partner and puppy, exploring the outdoors by foot or in a cute vintage car. She also has been learning Welsh since the business launched to feel more connected to her Welsh identity.
