With her latest collection launching this week, a new business in the pipeline, a novel to finish and two young daughters to look after, Tabitha Webb rarely has time to put her feet up.

The designer is a bundle of energy with an impressive work ethic. It has helped her build a successful brand that counts the Princess of Wales and her sister Pippa Middleton – as well as celebrities including Holly Willoughby, Davina McCall, Claudia Winkleman and Fearne Cotton – among its fans.

CHANGE OF SCENE

Recently, however, Tabitha has discovered the joys of switching off after she and her geologist husband Gavin Ferrar bought a holiday home in his native South Africa. And while the task of decorating and furnishing the beachside property has kept her busy, she is finally reaping the rewards.

“I’m definitely more relaxed here,” Tabitha says, inviting HELLO! into her bolthole for this exclusive photoshoot and interview. “I can come and check out of life for a few weeks and forget about the things I might usually worry about, like how many followers I’ve got on Instagram or which celebrity wore my clothes and who wore somebody else’s.
