Royal fabric supplier Hainsworth, one of Britain’s most historic textile mills, will unveil its 2013 Scarlet & Argent collection at Home, London, January 13-15 (stand K10).
Scarlet & Argent by Hainsworth, a stunning collection of exquisite woollen blankets, throws and accessories launched at Home in January 2012 and is now stocked in John Lewis and Liberty.
The 2013 collection introduces fresh and vibrant designs to its contemporary classics with new colors including berry, lavender, mint, olive, damson and mushroom. The new collection also includes cushions, hot water bottle cover, a new pure wool baby blanket, a cashmere teddy bear and a stunning white Chinese cashmere blanket.
Each piece in the Scarlet & Argent collection is created exclusively in Hainsworth’s specialist Yorkshire mill, one of the oldest woollen mills in Europe, from the selection of the raw wool to the hand-finished touches.
Hainsworth is a company instilled with a stunning heritage that spans across seven family generations and is synonymous with some of the most iconic moments in British history since 1783.
It has been a luxury fabric supplier to the world’s royalty for decades, including Queen Elizabeth II, and has exclusively supplied ceremonial woollen cloth to the Ministry of Defence which can be seen on the iconic Royal Guards standing outside Buckingham Palace.
Its cloth covers the famous Woolsack in the House of Lords, features regularly in blockbuster movies such as Harry Potter and was used to make the uniforms worn by Princes William and Harry at the Royal Wedding.
