This means that we all share the same warp, made up of British Wool deadstock yarns, and each contributor adds their own section of yarn and design to the weft, offering an affordable solution to small-batch woven production whilst keeping fashion miles to a minimum. It also creates excitement in the design process, as the outcome is unknown due to the deadstock yarns on the warp.</p><p class="">Launched in September 2024, The Bristol Weaving Mill took inspiration from the wine cooperatives of France, harnessing collective interest and economies of scale to produce UK-made products at a better price point, eliminating the need to send yarn abroad for manufacturing. Our blankets are part of the first run and we’re delighted with how they’ve turned out.</p> </figcaption> </figure> <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic "> <img alt="" height="702" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61420955cff6b10558c8000a/1759324141553-G87LQA8ZX0HX9CXCLQ1U/0-23.jpg?format=1000w" width="1053" /> </figure>

Earl Of East Meets: Kate Sheridan - Interview

I had the pleasure of letting Earl of East shoot their newest candle scent in the studio! I Also spoke to them about my journey into leatherwork, how scents play a role in the brand, and discuss the personal, sustainable, and tactile nature of making. Read the full Article and see all the lovely images here. . Here are some snippets from our conversation... How does scent play a role in your own life day to day? Our stores have their own distinct atmosphere. A rich blend of leather and scented candles that our customers often comment on as soon as they walk in. It’s always a great conversation starter and helps create a welcoming, memorable space. Is there a particular memory (perhaps a place or person) that you associate with the smell of leather? The scent of leather instantly takes me back to the storeroom at college. I remember finding it completely intoxicating. It still brings back that sense of excitement and creativity every time I smell it. We’re burning our Elementary fragrance in your studio today, which has notes of leather, tobacco and amber - quite a fitting pairing for your studio. Beyond the leather itself, if you were to create a signature brand scent what notes would it include? Besides leather, I’m really drawn to the smell of fresh rain and cut grass - there’s something so grounding and nostalgic about those scents. I’m not sure how they’d combine with leather, but I’ll happily leave that to the experts! You've successfully built a brand centred around traditional craftsmanship. How do you continue evolving creatively without losing the essence of your traditional methods? We’ve been fortunate to work with the same makers, factories and suppliers since the beginning, and those long-standing relationships have been essential. They understand our values and processes inside out. That foundation gives us the confidence and flexibility to explore new ideas, knowing we’re staying true to our roots.

The circular economy is a system where resources are kept in use for as long as possible — by reusing, repairing, and recycling — rather than being thrown away. We’re used to hearing about the circular economy and how it could be the future for the fashion industry. Rentals, preloved and vintage are booming in the kids

Cornish knitwear commission to celebrate an heirloom traditional guernsey.

How I developed and made a new jumper inspired by a century old traditional guernsey. It is always a joy to bring new life to old, treasured knitwear, but creating a replica of a century old garment felt like a particularly special task. For a recent commission I was asked to develop a womens jumper that would be a gift that honoured an old, well worn and loved fishermans guernsey, a sentimental family heirloom passed down through generaetions, and dating back to around 1900. The client loved th

Shearling Moccasins: The Cute Essential Your Wardrobe is Missing

Shearling Moccasins: The Cute Essential Your Wardrobe is Missing

This is the season for shearling moccasin slippers! If you've never owned a pair, now is the perfect time to do so. The amazing soft lining is an absolute treat to sink your feet into, and they make a welcome holiday gift too. These slippers and boots transition seamlessly from casual to semi-formal, perfect for plans from morning to evening. To help you land an ideal pair, we have gathered all the information you need for your next shearling footwear. Why Shearling Moccasin Slippers? Shearling moccasin slippers, offering more durability and support than the average slipper, distribute pressure evenly with a crimped material that creates a plush cushion. Additionally, they do not flatten out and stay fluffy and intact for extended periods. As a hundred percent natural and sustainable material, they absorb moisture while creating air circulation that allows feet to breathe. Leave your feet in a cozy, cloud-like feeling as they stay warm enough to let you roam around with ease. Moisture-Wicking Properties Keep Your Feet Fresh All Day Like a classic moccasin, these slippers and boots feature rawhide lacing and stitching to preserve their authentic style. However, they also have a fluffy lining inside. It features a flexible sole, making it a perfect choice for dorm or house footwear. You can run errands wearing one of the shearling moccasin slippers in your favorite color.  Relax with your favorite TV show, make yourself some soup, or go for a coffee or a walk on hardwood floors - these are a perfect match. This footwear is reliable and provides comfort during a busy day. The classy design also makes a fantastic look when you have to welcome a few guests over for game nights and dinner. Enjoy the exceptional comfort of shearling sheepskin, thick and warm, with the lining that provides a soft step. Handcrafted Quality You Can Feel with Every Step They are a must-have winter accessory for everyone. Flats are effortless to wear, being both lightweight and versatile, perfect for pairing with striped dresses or jumpsuits. If you know where to get them, you can be sure of their quality.  Look for genuine shearling moccasin manufacturers who have been around for enough years to know what they are doing. Not everyone will offer you the right one at the right price. It takes true craftsmanship to design these slippers that last for years to come. Enjoy the new season and get slippers that suit your wardrobe!

Why Reputable Sellers Are Your Best Bet for Premium Shearling Slippers

Why Reputable Sellers Are Your Best Bet for Premium Shearling Slippers

Shearling slippers have gained considerable popularity in recent years. The increasing demand for this footwear is a testament to its popularity. With the rising demand for these slippers and boots, several manufacturers have entered the market. Many of them claim to provide the best quality and natural footwear to women and men. With numerous options available, people often feel uncertain about which manufacturer to choose to obtain genuine products. When choosing sheepskin products, it's always a good idea to opt for a trusted, reputable, and reliable seller to ensure you get exactly what you're looking for. Moreover, several reasons explain why you should purchase mens and ladies shearling slippers from a well-known seller, which are listed below. #1. Genuine Products/Authenticity Guarantee Selecting a dependable and local seller ensures the purchase of 100% authentic shearling slippers. Choosing a seller known for selling these slippers means you are likely to get the genuine item. On the other hand, if you opt for a new seller, there is a high chance of receiving fake and synthetic products; hence, it is better not to choose those sellers. #2. Proper Pricing/Value Protection Buying shearling slippers and boots can be a costly endeavor, as shearling is a premium material. Hence, opting for these slippers requires more money compared to purchasing regular slippers. When investing a significant amount in slippers, you need to ensure you buy genuine ones. Untrustworthy sellers can deceive you by charging a high price for the slippers while providing counterfeit products. Therefore, purchasing from a reputable seller would ensure you receive authentic products and pay the correct price for them. #3. Warranty Coverage When you buy mens and ladies shearling slippers from any of the trusted and dependable sellers, you can be assured of a warranty on your purchase as well as free returns. The warranty covers stitching, soles, and other components, ensuring the user is worry-free. Untrusted sellers do not offer warranty options and free return services, so it is advisable to avoid them. British Made Excellence Since 1937 Now, you have a clear idea as to why you should be going to a reputable and reliable seller when you are planning to buy shearling slippers for womens and mens. You can trust Draper of Glastonbury, a company known for being one of the oldest sheepskin manufacturers, which has been producing genuine slippers, boots, gloves, and rugs for over 85 years. Indulge in artisan-crafted shearling luxury today!
