Established in 2006, Penelope Penelope (prev. Scabby Robot) has been Jill Harrell's space for experimentation and play in object making and object selling. Jill completed her Industrial Design degree in 2003, with a focus on soft goods, at the California College of Arts and Crafts in San Francisco.

Leather goods are individually made by the designer. She hand cuts, constructs, finishes and ships each piece personally. She trusts her heavy duty industrial sewing machine to stitch and assemble the thick leathers she prefers to work with.

Vintage gold textiles (aka gold link jewelry) entered the scene in more recent years. Jill grew up spending time in her mom’s art jewelry studio in Laguna Beach, CA but never saw jewelry as “her thing”. As an adult she came across an exquisite Scandinavian gold link bracelet that moved like silk, and on that day, her imagination shifted massively. She HAD to find a way to be surrounded by these stunning handmade textile objects. Folding them into her business as an offering to others has become a great passion.

There's magic in the transformation from raw material to supple object. Jill is always folding shapes in her imagination and she delights in daydreaming the motion between potential and tangible.
