Meet Sarah & Simon

Sarah Ashby-Bassett

This year Sarah celebrates 10 years of ReVamp Boutique, as creative director of the business.

Sarah, who was brought up on a farm, started her design career at the age of 11, experimenting with tools and materials, all adding to her expert knowledge on design repurposing upcycling items like bikes, and saddles which at that age the real thing wasn't obtainable to her!

Sarah studied Interior Design At KLC in London and armed with this passion for design she went on to renovate properties, create show house designs specialising in lighting for clients, working with Vaughan & Blyth and Swift Developments, with repurpose and sustainably focused in her schemes.

Writing her own course content, Sarah taught at a local Adult Education College then expanded by launching ReVamp. Here you can come to the workshop in Tiptree or we can visit you or your business to offer a wide range of workshops for upcycling or wellbeing.

ReVamp's workshops have now been featured on ITV, Carfest, Grand Designs Live and Westfields Good Festival London and we have carried out various wellbeing corporate workshops all over the UK.

Simon Ashby-Bassett

Simon started his upholstery career at The Upholstery Skills Centre in Essex.

Realising he wanted a change of career, he continued his training whilst working in the Essex County Fire Service by having one to one lessons with a local upholsterer.

Here he accomplished many skills and recognised he had an eye for detail and perfection and was keen to join the business with Sarah..

He continued his training while he was still working, his shifts enabling him to practice his skills.

Six years later he joined the ReVamp husband and wife team full time bringing not only upholstery skills but carpentry too.

Here he works with clients, creating bespoke pieces, adapting and bringing vintage furniture back to life.
