About Gushlow & Cole
Gushlow & Cole was founded by lifelong friends Emma Gushlow and Katrina Cole, who both come from families with a history in British shearling manufacturing. They studied design at the London College of Fashion, apprenticed in traditional techniques, and started their brand after debuting handmade accessories at London Fashion Week. After their family factory closed in 2003, they continued the business in Kent, hand-making luxury shearling and leather pieces and working closely with local craftspeople.
