Get Inspiration in London

We love to get inspiration for our scarf designs from the sights of London. Some of our favorite places to go are...


The Wallace Collection at Hertford House, Manchester Square, London W1U 3BN 
When we met Vivienne Westwood  at Paris fashion week a few years ago she was raving about this backstage.  She told us to go and see it, we were terrified (of Vivienne not the Wallace collection)  but we did. 


The V&A is outstanding in every way. The collections of historic costumes are out of this world. 


Hampstead Heath A walk in the park is wonderful. 


Fournier Street in Spitalfields, London E1, is a beautiful street of 18th century houses. Gilbert and George make no secret of living down this road.  


Princelet street nearby is also magnificent.  Number 19, an original Huguenot house, is dedicated to the history of immigration. The house is one of the most amazing buildings in the Uk.  


The British Museum is an old favorite that we revisit time and time again.  The African collections are particularly inspirational to us.
