It’s one of the busiest, and most exciting, times in our calendar as we finalise the designs for our SS27 apparel collection, a carefully curated edit of exceptional fashion fabrics.
For the fashion brands and designers we work with, selecting the right fabrics is about more than aesthetics, it’s about finding materials that enhance silhouettes, support creative storytelling and authentically reflect brand values. Our SS27 collection has been developed to inspire confident design decisions, offering a refined balance of creativity, craftsmanship and technical excellence.
As a luxury fabric manufacturer, design and weaving are seamlessly brought together at our UK based mill. We have the capability to create endless combinations of different yarns, constructions and colourways, each resulting in a unique bespoke woven fabric. across multiple yarns, constructions and colourways. Each season, our design and commerical teams create a focused collection of approximately 30 fabrics to inspire and enhance our customer’s collections.
With the design studio located directly above the weaving floor, we can turn ideas into reality quickly. Combining the technical expertise of our weavers with the innovative creativity of our designers, we ensure every fabric is engineered for performance, longevity and luxury appeal.
The SS27 collection builds upon our established fabric core qualities, this season these include:
Florence
An indulgent, 100% silk quality, Florence embodies opulence and movement. This seasons floral design delicately decorates the surface of this fabric, which is available in a vast array of subtle, monochromatic colourations. The true beauty of this design is revealed within the movement of softly structured silhouettes.
Noble
Noble continues to define understated glamour through its silk and responsible wool blend with a fluid, elegant drape. This season introduces a contemporary capsule of three designs: a discreetly textured plain, a fine stripe and a windowpane check, perfect for elevated occasionwear and red-carpet-ready styling.
Thea
Thea is our most accessible fashion-forward quality, offering a modern alternative to printed textiles. For SS27, we bring to you two new designs, a digitally distorted damask and check both emerging through an expressive palette, bringing drama, depth and individuality to contemporary high-fashion silhouettes.
Bouclé
Crafted in a cotton and responsible wool blend with bouclé, chenille, and noil yarns, our Bouclé quality combines softness with a tactile, multidimensional hand. For SS27, traditional tailoring patterns, including a magnified dogtooth and a blurred stripe, are reinterpreted at an exaggerated scale, creating a contemporary, textured effect. Ideal for transitional and unstructured silhouettes, Bouclé brings modern sophistication to heritage inspired designs.
While designs from our seasonal collections are all available to order as they are, they also offer a source of inspiration for bespoke designs. We take delight in collaborating with our customers, translating their artwork into jacquard fabrics to reflect individual brand identities, colour stories and creative direction for the season.
