ABSTRACT
Bottletop sets out to redefine the concept of 'Luxury' through collections that celebrate true craftsmanship, rediscover hidden production techniques and form a timeless 'created by hand' aesthetic; designs that are an object of both pride and beauty for the artisan and consumer alike. Behind all Bottletop creative processes is a mission and commitment to empower women with livelihoods and young people with education. It also funds the operation of the Bottletop Foundation, enabling all funds raised through music and contemporary art projects to support life-changing education projects for young people. Young people can be empowered to protect themselves and their friends, families and wider communities through the right creative health education. Unfortunately it was at the height of a very large transition in the music industry in which young people were no longer buying much music, so fundraising for the foundation through record sales was becoming an increasingly difficult task.
