Hi, I'm Carys

Here, you’ll find accessories handmade in Wales from British wool, cowhide, and thoughtfully sourced fabrics — each one full of character, care, and calon Cymreig (Welsh heart).

I live and work on a small farm on the side of a hill in Llangadfan in Mid Wales, where I create handmade accessories inspired by real rural life and my love of everything country including cowprint and country music.

On a mission to keep rural creativity alive. With over a decade of experience as a Sustainable Fashion and Art & Design Lecturer, I’ve now swapped the classroom for my countryside studio — putting my skills to good use through my own brand: Barn Dancer.
