Seasonal fabric collection – Autumn Winter 26

Scrunches wool silk fabric from autumn winter collection

We’re proud to introduce our seasonal fabric collection for Autumn winter 26. This season’s apparel collection combines new designs within trusted core qualities and constructions.

This season, we reimagined an archival Clematis fl This season, we reimagined an archival Clematis floral in our core Bailey Cotton quality, a refined cotton and silk blend.

The journey began by reworking the repeat and increasing the scale to create greater drama and impact. Intricate details are brought to life through expertly graded weaves, delivering the high-definition clarity and depth that have become a signature of this quality.

Finished in a bold, contemporary colour palette, the design is also available in custom colourways, offering endless opportunities.

Bailey Cotton is perfectly suited to elevated casualwear and sophisticated daywear, combining statement design with effortless wearability.

Meet the Weaving Team Behind every fabric that l Meet the Weaving Team 

Behind every fabric that leaves the mill is a team of skilled weavers whose experience, dedication and craftsmanship keep our looms running day after day.
We caught up with some of our weaving team to learn more about their roles, what brought them into the industry, and what they enjoy most about life at the mill.

Between them they bring decades of knowledge to the weaving floor. Their experience ranges from 2 years at the mill to nearly 20 years, while some have spent an incredible 40 years honing their skills and working within the textile industry.
They shared whats makes weaving so special is that no two days are ever the same. From producing fabrics for a wide range of customers to creating designs for well known brands and events. 

For some, weaving was a career they never expected to follow. Tim, studied footwear design at university and saw an opportunity when a weaving role became available. The connection to the fashion industry drew him in, and it's a decision he hasn’t looked back on. For others, like Lee, weaving was one of the first jobs applied for after leaving school, leading to a career spanning four decades.

The team are the first to admit that weaving can be challenging. Sharing that at times it can feel like the most frustrating job in the world but one of the most rewarding when you get to see where the fabric ends up. 

There have been plenty of memorable moments over the years. One story involves Lee being stitched up by the production team by assigning him to weave an order for his rival football team's ties. The team thought it was a hilarious, while Lee shared it is still very painful for him to this day!

A big thank you to our weaving team for the skill, passion and expertise they bring to the mill every day.

Introducing Alba, a new fabric quality for AW27 A Introducing Alba, a new fabric quality for AW27

A richly layered blend of silk, wool and viscose, Alba is defined by its distinctive three-dimensional surface and soft architectural feel. Created through the contrasting tensions of matte wool against lustrous silk and viscose, the fabric reveals exceptional depth and tactility.

This season, Alba is showcased in expressive animal-inspired design, where the interplay of yarns brings added dimension and movement to every marking.

Hardy, inspired by the loosely woven structures of Hardy, inspired by the loosely woven structures of artisanal craft, combines cotton and responsible wool with signature silk yarns for a soft drape and relaxed handle. This season, Hardy evolves with a bolder attitude, featuring an enlarged gun check and a colourful offset houndstooth.
