HARPER & MAY - Sydney NSW
Christie, the owner and creator of Harper & May is a busy mum of 3 obsessed with the knotting life.
“. . . I love homewares and have always felt that strong pull to create”.
My journey with macramé started out as a new hobby- one that I quickly and easily fell in love with. It has since developed into a daily passion. I love the intricacy, texture and design of Macramé.
At the end of 2018, I decided to start sharing this passion with others by creating Harper & May. Each one of my pieces is knotted by me with love and dedication. I sincerely enjoy each and every piece I create and I feel a deep sense of satisfaction in creating one of a kind custom pieces. I use high quality materials to complete my work and I dedicate many hours towards ensuring a high standard of design and construction.
I love creating unique pieces that spark interest and joy within the home. I sincerely hope that I can bring a little love and creativity to your space.

She is consistently influenced by ancient art forms that have existed for centuries, drawing upon them and adding her own contemporary flare to each of her creations.
