Collaboration with Edward Sexton
In 2013, Sandra entered into a joint collaboration with the late Savile Row, Master Tailor to rockstars, Edward Sexton.
Four nostalgic Scottish pure wool tartan coats designed by Sandra, were cut, sculpted and crafted into striking silhouettes, and haute in every detail. Italian silk printed sleeve linings, hand made buttonholes, exquisite Italian silk linings adding a touch of novelty and even the whimsy.
