Went to Art college did peculiar things, then studied a Fashion and Textiles degree which was nice! Worked in a Fish and Chip shop which was rather fab......I just cooked these for you ..have one! Don't they smell good!
.......I then started Scrumptious Design in 1997, had a shop/studio in HACKNEY, LONDON...and created and supplied loads of other Companies, shops and department stores my DESIGNS worldwide..(beautiful stationery, t-shirts, handbags and other designs, etc!) won design and business awards, supplied a few well known faces, was going extremely and fantastically well (featured in Glamour, Red, Elle Decoration, You magazine, Sunday Times, Evening Standard, Cosmopolitan, Timeout, Loaded, BBC news 24, Central news etc...).....and THEN HEY I had a small and very beautiful little baby girl (bless her I wouldnt change anything for the world!), took a break from it all (not strictly true!) took stock of life... then decided to start up again designing under my own name 'HELEN ROCHFORT' MAKING HANDBAGS FOR ALL TO ENJOY!!!
All wrapped up in a chocolate covered nutshell!!!! Oh yes got married somewhere in the middle to a gorgeous bloke with a bright red scooter and a fabulous record collection!

My Interests

QUOTE FROM WWW.TRENDORIGINAL.COM 'Scrumptious handbags by British designer, Helen Rochfort must be the next trend because they are simply so delicious. Seriously. Bite into her fashion now by checking out these totes and clutches designed with cupcakes, chocolate cakes, lollipops, guitars, vintage items and even fish ‘n chips. Kind of like Marie Antoinette’s dreams on a bag-it’s about time.'

THINGS I LIKE......All things fabby and all things a bit... 'not quite right' and a little 'unsettling' (I love fabulous crazy old ladies wearing marvellous hats and far too much blusher and lipstick!), plus.....MY OLD PINK VESPA SCOOTER...I miss it! (I used to scoot around on it in London town! Oh what a joy!) Carousels, Icecream vans.....
The Min (Our dog! who looks like a black fox!), Grimms fairy tales, Punch and Judy, Sylvia Plath, Keith Moon, Audrey Tatou, Banksy, Fish fingers chips and beans...
...Vivienne Westwood, Chocolate coated peanuts... actually chocolate coated everything,' Les trois garcon' on Bethnal Green road, teeny little things that are small versions of big things and big things that are large versions of small things..does that make sense?????

Red lipstick, Paris, Cocktails, Records, Bubble machines, Cakestands, the smell of Playdough, Chandaliers.......and I LOVE the words Scrummdiddlyumptious and supercalifragalisticexpialadotious xxx

all things KITSCH, the great english seaside, Wizard of OZ, a nice earl grey cuppa tea with one sugar, Vintage bits and pieces, rainbows, camembert and apple baguettes, 50s+60s design/furniture/fashion/style/art/film/music. I also love cut out stuff...... ..and here's something for YOU to cut out and keep..... 50's Movie lady...she's so fancy!

Front for Punch and Judy cutout!

...and the back!

...........Designing marvellous handbags and selling them to marvellous and nice people, my exceptionally beautiful gorgeous baby daughter (is that an interest??), cutting my daughters fringe which makes her laugh when the little bits of hair settle on her chubby cheeks, havana club (cuban rum! the golden 3 year is the best!)) dancing until my face goes bright red...and lots more things!!!!!

Oh and watching goldfish swimming around in circles...bless em....

I'd like to meet:

Nice people.... only nice people and nice people only!!!!!! Oh and perhaps someone who can make balloon animals???? www.helenrochfort.com - take a peek!

OOoooooooH and please take a chocolate (or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5!)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
