A Picture of Motherhood — Charlotte Penman

We photographed Charlotte Penman for our Mother's Day muse....

A woman in a dark green dress hugs three children under a tree. One child in red rests on her shoulder, another in yellow pants stands in front, and a third hugs her from the side.


A picture of motherhood. To celebrate Mother’s Day we caught up with our dear friend Charlotte Penman to take a portrait of her and her wonderful children Marcel, Florence and Celeste.

We have adored Charlotte for along time now as she has been a consistent part of the Tessuti family for many many years. As a maker (and a mother!) Charlotte continues wow us. Her work is elegant and timeless, yet wearable in busy everyday life. Charlotte herself, adored in jewels, beautifully balances the pirouette of making and motherhood. Charlotte’s presence is gracious, strong and engaged. As her vibrant family whirl around her she is both, steadfast and joins in for the dance. Thank you Charlotte, for being our Mother's Day muse.
