Tina Guillory -- experienced gardener and mother to Sienna Guillory, an established English actress -- has created a range of durable work wear that is centered around one essential item: the smock.
The smock is a protective garment that's been used across many industries, from art to woodworking to sailing. Guillory was inspired by her coastal environment in designing her garments, which range from carrier bags to dungarees.
It was important to Guillory that she create items that are environmentally friendly. To do so, she uses materials such as cotton canvas and jute, which are both natural and renewable. The finished attire is comfortable, practical and easy on the eyes. Guillory has succeeded in wearing clothes that are made to live in -- the proof being that they become better with age and wear!
