Amber Hards

By Made In Bristol  Thursday Oct 25, 2018

Amber is a British knitwear designer who creates gorgeous accessories with luxury natural fibres in a minimal and stylish colour palette. Her work is inspired by the colours and formations of natural rock landscapes and a fascination with the soft colour washes of American abstract painter Agnes Martin.
