SECOND LAVENHAM COLLABORATION

We are proud to launch our second instalment of our collaboration with Lavenham. Heritage British outerwear brand Lavenham is known for its expertise in quilted outerwear and works with predominantly British cloth manufacturers, renowned for their high quality and hardworking fabrics. Every fit-for-purpose piece is made on site in the Lavenham factory, based in Suffolk.

This second collaboration is formed of limited edition garments and accessories that have been responsibly produced within the UK. These garments and accessories have been developed in order that all the components have as minimal negative environmental impact as possible. The outerwear is constructed with textile quilting that builds on the heritage design of the Lavenham brand using an intricate geometric quilting design. The quilting is produced using fully traceable British wool wadding from HD® Wool, exclusively to this collaboration, that is a natural nonwoven layer, unlike standard wadding. 

The Woolkeepers® from HD® Wool whose program sources the right types of British wool for apparel insulation, ensures a local supply while also promoting responsible farming practices, animal welfare, and fair pricing for farmers. This not only helps to reduce waste but also supports the growth and development of rural economies. They use what is on our doorstep, without having to deplete oil reserves or create excess waste. 

Wool wadding is warm when it is cool, and cooling when it is warm. The material is natural and breathable, creating a wadding that brings many unique properties to the outerwear pieces. This is also a first in terms of the construction: creating wadding that is from natural sources and is fully traceable, regional and has potential to biodegrade. 

The garments are constructed using deadstock fabrics in a limited edition quantity.
