Kessa Laxton is the Director of Design at WE and the founder and creative force behind the children's clothing brand, Patouche. After working as a designer and scenic artist for the theatre world and having two kids, she started making stuff for her son and daughter to wear that was playful and free from branding. She discovered that she might be onto something when her son was reduced to tears on finding his favourite “pirate” pants in the wash. Kessa is committed to supporting the local economy and using natural textiles.
