They share the same ideas about who their customers are, how clothes should fit and how much they should cost. After three months of collaborating, Luartes and Parker have opened the
Lizzie Parker Eco-Atelier store within Tweed. The shop features a mini
collection called Pieces of Eight, which was born of the idea that

looking for more bang for their buck.
