Make Something Good. Repeat

Our product philosophy is simple; design products with great care, and if people like them, then repeat. Few products capture the essence of this philosophy better than the women’s work trousers.

Launched originally back in 2017, we offered them in just one fabric, an 8oz lightweight cotton denim. Feedback was great, sales were great, and returns percentages were tiny (single figures, pretty much unheard of for trousers sold online). So we added a handful of other great colours, in simple durable cotton twills we know and trust, and those sold super well too. Next we did a jeans version and they in turn became our best selling jean, so then we increased the size range, up to a size 26, and added a second leg length, and sales carried on climbing.

So where do we go with this barnstorming trouser after 8 years of success? Well we thought we’d offer something for those chillier days. We’re delighted to announce we will now be offering the work trousers in two colours of corduroy too. As always we’re using a tried and tested cord from the masters of fustians messrs Brisbane Moss of Todmorden, a cord we’ve been using for years on other products that we know you’ll love wearing, and we know will wear super well.

Theres no great secret to the success of the work trousers and jeans, they just look great, and they’re a really great fit. As Jenny in our team says “my work jeans are the thing I get asked about most at pop ups and events”. Beth who runs our ecomm swears by them “I have both the lightweight work trousers in indigo and the work jeans in black and I can vouch for their great fit. They’re usually my starting point when putting an easy outfit together.” 

We know you’ll enjoy them too.

Something New: The Pack-a-Sack

The Pack-a-sack is an ultra packable lightweight bag. It packs to a size of just 2.5cm x 2.5cm X 5cm making it a perfect for tucking in a handbag or pocket, useful for anything, great as an emergency shopping bag.  Once rolled, it’s secured with a popper, ensuring it stays neatly folded. The dimensions of the unfolded bag are 45cm wide x 34cm tall.

The pack-a-sack forms part of our growing Zero Waste Collection, made in deadstock nylon, with deadstock nylon webbing strap.

Everything we do is a celebration of the people, the skills and the traditions of the  amazing factories we work with, all of them the very best of their kind, all of them deeply  embedded in the culture and history of their communities.  

Great photographs don’t just show our clothes, they tell our story and connect you with what we do. 

Our philosophy around photography is really simple: just keep it honest. Shoot the clothes as they are, don’t alter or pin them, don’t retouch. When our clothes arrive and you put them on we want them to look like the clothes you see in the pictures.
