Euphoric Threads - Meet The Designer - Series I
Euphoric Threads founder and designer, Laura Griffith gives you a snippet into her crazy background in textiles, travel and all things euphoric in ourMEET THE DESIGNER blog series - as part of theIndie Roller Instagram challenge - 'BE YOU'.
Hello euphoric followers from far and wide! ?? That's me Laura, ☝?(right) I am the founder of Euphoric Threads.
This month I joined in on the lovely little Instagram challenge by Indie Roller so I could introduce myself and my fashion label .. and share with you a little insight into how and why I started this company ...
For those of you that know me already.. if I'm not sewing your orders .. basking and surfing at the beach, I’m usually at a festival or some sort of party (.. pre pandemic) ???♂️This is my PASSION!
I went went to Fashion School when I was 18, then landed my first job in Sri Lanka as a guest Textile Designer for@aod_design in 2012, that’s where I caught the caught the “travel bug” and I STILL haven’t settled !
( Check out my early travels in Sri Lanka here )
〰️
I have worked MANY jobs before Euphoric Threads.. trust me. Some memorable ones; I was a freelance print designer in Sydney, an innovation researcher for a retail trend forecasting agency in London, and I lived in Fiji marketing for an amazing eco-tourism company@islandspiritexperiences .. (PLUS I’ve been a potato picker on a farm?, pumpkin planter, print factory worker, coral gardener?, tent erector⛺️, stewardess on super yachts⛵️, I mean the list goes on, lets go for a drink one day I will tell you all!…)
〰️
After a decade of travelling the globe, surfing and working in exotic places.. I finally found my way back into fashion when I moved back to Bristol in 2018 and started making my friends colourful rash vests for surfing. (I LOVE surfing and playing in the seaaaa!??♀️) I actually grew up on the Jurassic Dorset coast. It’s a corker ! Surrounded by exotic plants and flowers, I was heavily inspired by my Dad’s botanising travels around the world and his lifetime of managing historic@abbotsburysubtropicalgardens - hence the obsession with Birds of Paradise plants and Palm Trees! ??
〰️
I want to empower women with happy colourful prints and multi-functional activewear that doesn’t cost the earth. So Euphoric Threads was born! Tropical eco garms for Waves and Raves ✌?♻️ ???♂️???

(the name has stuck with me since!) .. it basically meansHAPPY CLOTHES! ✌?I went went to Fashion School when I was 18, then landed my first job in Sri Lanka as a guest Textile Designer for@aod_design in 2012, that’s where I caught the caught the “travel bug” and I STILL haven’t settled !
