Welcome to 'Dragons Are Real' world, my creative place

 

 

Hello,

Welcome on Dragons Are Real website, my name is Mathilde, I am a 37 year young French woman established in the Outer Hebrides since 2019. Falling in love with Scotland a long time ago I finally followed my heart to live my dream and settle in this country I call home.

Dragons Are Real is the combination of my creative explorations since I am a child and my history. I go deep down in myself to create and give what is the most sincere and beautiful things I feel. This exploration is currently leading me to use ropes and plant dyeing to come up with items that will last for years because of their utility, their quality, their timeless design, and their singularity. 

In summer 2025 I moved my physical studio from a room to another one in our house. This change has been the kick I needed to undertake a long time goal : stop buying material and use the ressources I have under my hands. In boxes and drawers I have been collecting - hoarding, let's face the truth - fabrics, buttons, lace, beads, ropes, paper, thread, yarn, etc ... I have many ideas of what I am going to make with all of this. I invite you to read the blog and to subscribe to the newsletter to follow up with me and my creative journey. 

I invite you to visit the website and the online shop. If you have any questions or comments, contact me at mathilde@dragonsarereal.co.uk.

Thank you for your reading and enjoy your visit,

Mathilde
