The Designer/Owner:

Flame Lily is a unique brand of knitwear designed by Christine Garnett and produced by her company in Zimbabwe, in partnership with Holy Cross Sisters.

This is the ultimate ethical company – no hype, no spin - just straight forward integrity and honesty. We don’t carry fair trade or organic certification because we can’t afford the royalties and fees. We’d rather spend our money on bringing you top fashion knitwear through training and employing more women.

The Name:

The Flame Lily is the national flower of Zimbabwe. It is a highly toxic plant which grows in the wild from December to March. It’s also our logo as it symbolizes what we stand for: Pride, beauty and originality.

The Boutique:

Set in pretty Thame, Oxfordshire and filled with yummy knits, clothes, jewellery and other bits. Come on over for a cuppa and enjoy browsing in our fabulous shop.
