Harriet Eccleston is a British clothing brand deeply rooted in a rich family heritage of tailoring, draping, and millinery. Inspired by generations of skilled artisans in her family, Harriet Eccleston's work reflects a profound appreciation for impeccable craftsmanship, quality, and refined techniques. Their ambition is to honour this family legacy by continuing the tradition of exceptional fashion and quality tailoring, but with a fresh and innovative 21st-century perspective.
Every garment from Harriet Eccleston tells a story — her story — crafted with utmost care and attention. The brand’s ethos centres on creating high-quality, timeless designs made with hand, head, and heart. This means that each piece is handcrafted and individually made to order, designed, pattern cut, and constructed entirely by hand. Consciousness and responsibility guide their production processes, with all materials and methods chosen to respect both people and the planet. Above all, the designs are created with narrative, meaning, and love, intended to be cherished, worn for a long time, and even passed down through generations.
Harriet Eccleston’s approach stands apart in a fast-paced fashion world where quick turnarounds and fleeting styles have become the norm. They challenge this trend by focusing on carefully crafted garments that carry emotional resonance through innovative and timeless pattern cutting. Their seasonless styles use quality fabrics sourced within the UK and are made individually in Derbyshire, reflecting a commitment to craftsmanship and longevity.
Since launching their first collection in 2019, Harriet Eccleston has achieved notable recognition within the fashion industry. They were selected as one of only ten designers worldwide to showcase at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia under the Global Talents scheme by the Russian Fashion Council. Their work has also been featured on major catwalks in London and Paris and has appeared in respected publications such as Vogue China, The Sunday Times Style, and Grazia. The brand is currently stocked with Young British Designers, further solidifying its place in contemporary British fashion.
The brand’s accolades include winning the Faduma’s Fellowship in 2021 for creating a fully adaptive collection, being named Young Designer of the Year at the Midlands Fashion Awards in 2017, and being a finalist for the TU Womenswear Scholarship at Graduate Fashion Week in 2017. These achievements underscore Harriet Eccleston’s dedication to innovation, quality, and meaningful design.
With a philosophy that combines traditional craftsmanship with responsible production and heartfelt design, Harriet Eccleston continues to redefine modern tailoring. Their garments are more than clothing; they are stories crafted with care to be treasured for years to come.
