Peahead: Christine Wilson

Meet Christine Wilson, a Dubai resident who has spent her self-isolation period building a business with the help of YouTube and a sewing machine to create unique limited edition & handmade accessories using recycled & sustainable materials. So, what exactly does she make? Well, if you’re a current or former UAE resident, you might instantly recognize her designs. Christine has managed to incorporate something that’s been a UAE staple since the 60s - she’s found a way to upcycle the humble Spinneys bag! Hear how the satisfaction of upcycling that which would otherwise go to waste has been immeasurable during this time of lockdown, and how you could help her out.
