World class silk weaving in Suffolk, with a client list to die for, including Hugo Boss, Prada, Polo Ralph Lauren, Dunhill, Christian Dior, Hermes, Vivian Westwood and Chanel to mention more than a few. Expert tie manufactures dotted around the country making for all the big English brand names and most of the Savile Row tailors. Proof that Britain can compete in a bespoke arena but not in a mass production arena. One weaver operates as an export led organisation with more than 75% of its production going overseas. The company has customers in USA, Japan, Germany, France, Italy and many other countries. They’ve survived for more than 200 years. What an impressive record, but how many Brits know about it? It’s a good time to learn a little about what goes on behind the scene in the fashion industry. Then you will appreciate the item you buy and display a lot more. Why? Because you know the story and you’re capturing a little English history.
