Funk Shui is a line of one of a kind, hand crafted garments, hats and accessories.
Using the ancient technique of felting, all pieces are hand dyed and lovingly created by textile artist Jessica de Haas in her atelier on Vancouver’s Granville Island.
Funk Shui blurs the line between art, craft and fashion. It challenges the notion of what is precious and valued in our society. Jessica strives to honour ancient practices and a primitive art form, while creating pieces that are beautiful and timeless.

Hand dyed and hand felted merino wool and silk come together in the classic combination of black and red to create this Funk Shui Deep Cloche.

The pin back on the Flower Brooch allows you to easily reposition it to your liking, or remove it to wear on its own or to style your cloche differently.
