Overview
Rebecca Lovell-Smith – Sure to Rise
Rebecca Lovell-Smith lost her historic Lyttelton home and her shop, called God Save the Queen!, in the Christchurch earthquake of 22 February 2011. But through her design work and business acumen, she has been able to adapt and survive.
Rebecca’s popular ‘Sure to Rise’ tea towels borrow elements from the Edmonds baking powder tin – an iconic piece of Kiwiana with deep ties to Christchurch – to communicate a message of resilience and hope.
