The Amitié Story
House of Amitié is the vision of lifelong friends Angela Bush and Jemma Lewis.
Having met aged 13 in secondary school and both having a passion for Art & Design we are delighted to share our love for all things interiors, pattern, colour and marbling with you!
The word 'Amitié' (pronounced "a mee tyay" ) means friendship, which is at the heart of our company.
Angela studied Interior Textile Design at Wolverhampton University and went on to hold a career in Buying for a period of 20 years in London. Specialising in Footwear & Accessories, she had a varied career working as a Buyer for several UK fashion brands, which even involved managing special projects such as shoes made for Catherine Princess of Wales & Queen Elizabeth II. Post Pandemic it was time for a re-think and move back to Wiltshire to be closer to family and her best friend Jemma.
Jemma has been a full time professional Paper Marbler for over 16 years. Having studied Textile Art at Norwich School of Art & Design, the route to becoming a Paper Marbler was a serendipitous one via a traditional bookbinders, who frequently used marbled papers inside historic marbled tomes that they were tasked to repair. Having worked with many high end clients, creating a range of printed marbled wallpapers and fabrics had been a long awaited dream.
We look forward to sharing our obsession with Marbling with you all, and hope you love our collections as much as we do!
Amitiés,
Angela & Jemma x x
