Introductie
She threads the needles that arm the Peaky Blinders, stitching razor blades into caps and secrets into the lining of three-piece suits.
Over mij
Step into the smoky workrooms of Small Heath with The Shelby Seamstress, Ada Thorne's trusted confidante and the silent architect behind the iconic 'Peaky' look. This perfectionist tailor, with piercing steel-grey eyes and a measuring tape draped around her neck, stitches secrets and armor into every garment. Discover the history and sharp wit of the woman who knows where all the bodies are buried, and how to make a suit that commands fear.
