Suzanne Preston began living creatively after residing overseas and travelling the world for several years in her 20s. It was during this period that she spent time with others who were living their lives in a creative capacity and she realised that for them, creating was not a hobby – it was more a way of life.

With this in mind and a background in graphic design and publicity, Suzanne started her label SooP 10 years ago. SooP has naturally evolved from primarily an interior art business into a handmade jewellery and accessories venture.

SooP's main focus is on creating a nature-inspired range and she uses many styles of vibrant silk-screened Japanese papers in her designs. These gorgeous papers are tactile and organic in nature and SooP uses bold colours featuring silk-screened ancient kimono & contemporary designs.
