Bertola Home Studio emerged during the 2020 lockdown as a response to isolation. Unable to participate in mother-baby groups, Poppy turned to creative outlets for solace. She initiated an Instagram page dedicated to home renovation and interior styling, injecting vitality into monotonous days and unearthing inspiration and homeware finds. The 2021 Christmas season saw Poppy craft her inaugural bobbin frame, housing a cherished family photo. The framed photo gift garnered enthusiastic responses, ultimately marking the official establishment of Bertola Home Studio.
