We take you on a brief tour of our production process, with exclusive insights into how our skirts are transformed from yarn to the gorgeous pieces you see in our catalogue.
The Beginning:
After each skirt has been designed by our buyers, we then turn to the mill. Above are the 'recipes' for the dye. Each card contains the 'ingredients' for that particular colour. Once a colour is chosen, the yarn is then dyed in the large baths shown above.
Threading Up:
After they have been dyed they are put onto cones which are then threaded up, ready to go onto the loom.
Weaving:
Using a pattern (the white card with holes in, shown), the fabric is then woven on the loom, producing rolls of beautiful fabric.

Final Stages:
Once the fabric has been woven, it is cut to the correct length for each skirt. If it is to become a knife pleat skirt, it is placed in between two layers of cardboard (shown above) and baked in an oven to create the pleats. Once that is complete they are then sewn into the finished version.
