Grace Rigby is the contemporary textile designer behind Once Upon a Time in the North. Fuelled by a passion for beautiful fabrics and an obsession with colour and order, Grace creates a range of quirky bags and make-up bags, beautiful and unique lavender pillows and cushions. Grace's inspiration comes from the nostalgic images of Russian Dolls and her childhood memories, where every day without fail she would draw people, birds or houses with a perfect garden and white picket fence.
Russian Dolls and applique motifs of birds and houses are now consistent themes running through Grace's textile work. Colourful buttons and pretty ribbons and trims, including vintage finds, also feature heavily in the composition of her work.

Grace is a qualified surface pattern designer and she uses this knowledge of composition and arrangement with her skills in sewing to then design and produce her handcrafted products with careful consideration to design detail, which could be choosing the perfect fabric for a bird's wing or the cutest button to represent a door handle.
