The Signature Label
for the individual and distinctive textiles hand-woven by Doreen Gittens, Master of Design, Glasgow School of Art.
The studio, alive with the warm oranges, vivid reds and deep blues, calmed by the subtle shades of ivory and natural whites, overlooks the ever flowing River Thames. Only the finest natural yarns of cotton, linen and silks can produce the luxurious gossamer light scarves and bridal shawls as well as fabrics for interior furnishings.
A rare skill with less than 200 hand-weavers in the UK. Fewer still are able to dedicate themselves full time to their workshop and their beautiful creations.
Her creations travel far afield from their London home, to Parisian couture houses, and even Tokyo. Prominent U.S. and Middle Eastern architects rely on her to supply the exclusive woven textiles for their specialised projects.
You need only an idea and Doreen Gittens alone will weave it into the unique, bespoke product that has crossed from the imagination into reality. In addition, the showroom contains many wonderful examples, equally different and special, but ready to take away with you.
