Every pattern tells a story and this elegant stripe, inspired by a stunning fabric swatch found in a merchant’s sample book, captures the essence of English silk production during the Georgian era. The original silk creation from the 1770s exemplifies the exceptional skill and creativity of the silk producers in Spitalfields, East London, which long stood as the epicentre for fashionable, high-quality silks.
