Morwenna Farrell launches clothing stall at Norwich Market

Morwenna Farrell, 37, has secured a pop-up space at stall 13, opposite The Garnet pub, for her namesake brand. 

It is there from 10am to 5pm until Monday, April 15 and she stocks vintage clothes that she has thrifted and then screen printed her illustrations on.

The products for sale include a range of t-shirts, with slogans such as 'This Ain't My First Rodeo' and 'Get Off Your High Horse'.

She also stocks power suits, blouses, jackets, trousers, dresses, tote bags and badges and there are some collaboration pieces with Foundling Studio too. 

Ms Farrell said: "I am in a band so I write a lot of lyrics that I use on the clothes and the brand is Western-inspired.

"I had been waiting for somewhere for a pop-up and when this became available I jumped at the chance."

She has upcycled clothing since she was a child, as her mum was a fan of thrifting, and she has always loved drawing.

But it wasn't until she was 27 that she decided to leave her office job and follow her passion.

She studied illustration at Norwich University of the Arts and in 2019 established Morwenna Farrell as a brand and business. 

She screen prints in her basement studio and goes to various events, with her next one the Fierce Babe Spring Market at the Assembly House on Sunday, April 28 from 11am to 4pm.

Speaking about the reaction to her pop-up so far, Ms Farrell said: "I love the community at Norwich Market and people have been stumbling upon the stall and getting excited.

"I spend a lot of time on my own making the clothes so it is really nice to get feedback and see the reaction in a shop."
