POLLY WILKINSON

After a fast-paced life in fashion, Polly and renowned photographer husband Ben Weller made the move from London to Sennen, Cornwall. Now in the world of lifestyle and interiors, Polly has created her own path to fit alongside her role as a mother to two young children.

Shot by her husband Ben on the Cornish Coast, Polly wears our Signature Reversible Quilt & Reversible Quilted Hood.

WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?

Creating my own path and not following what others are doing. There seems to be these vast swathes of people moving to certain areas or countries. Neither my partner Ben or I knew a single person when we moved to Sennen 3 years ago.

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR OTHER FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS/CREATIVES?

Read ‘Let my people go surfing’ by Patagonia Founder Yvon Chouinard. Build things on your terms, not what others want you to be or suggest you be. Do less well. A really great mentor of mine once said – get ambitious with being focused.

HOW DO YOU STYLE YOUR MARFA STANCE PIECE?

My Marfa Stance Quilt is a beautiful piece of everyday attire, I pair with Blundstones as I live in the countryside. It’s such a practical, versatile piece, well made with warm, deep pockets so no need for a bag, which suits my lifestyle. It’s really chic but doesn’t feel flashy.
