A FORMER physiotherapist with a lifelong love of sewing has set up her own business designing and creating an exclusive collection of handmade bags.
Thistle Fairy Designs has grown steadily since Shona Jennings first began selling her products three years ago and now exports 50 per cent of its unique bags to America.
Shona decided to focus on the business full time in July last year after she moved to Oban with her husband. With support from Business Gateway Argyll and Bute, Shona is now selling online via her own website and Etsy, to customers across the UK and Europe.
