Twinkle Leo was created in Ukraine when Tetyana’s son, Leo, was born in 2019. She makes a range of blankets, pyjamas, children’s clothes and accessories. She has been supported to develop her business by ACH, a social enterprise supporting refugees and migrants.

“When I first arrived into Bristol, it was very cold. I only brought with me summer clothes, one pair of jeans and a jumper. I was not thinking about my business, only how my son and I would survive here. Everything here was new to me; the nursery, the hills, all the walking!”

Tetyana, Founder of Twinkle Leo
