Buying for the Sustainably Stylish, a Colour Connoisseur or Drafting Devotee this festive period? Here at the Fashion and Textile Museum, we’ve got you covered this Christmas!
1) for the Colour Lover
Heading to our building in Bermondsey? Come explore what’s on sale in our fantastic on-site Museum shop! To brighten up the everyday, there’s shelves of Sarah Campbell Studio goodies to peruse, such as purses and teatowels in her signature prints – or how about a Jazzy Pocket pocket square made from bright and beautiful African Wax Print cotton? You’ll find all of these, as well as Retrograde Patches to add a pop of colour to a jacket or bag and British Colour Standard striped candles to bring some saturation to winter soirées. Buying for a dedicated doodler? We have multi-coloured marbled pencils, watercolour sets and Fashion and Textile Museum Sketchbooks. And when everything’s wrapped up and under the tree, curl up with a one of our wonderful technicolour tomes and immerse yourself in The Colour Bible, The Secret Lives of Colour or The Colour of Fashion. Gorgeous!
2) for the Sustainably Stylish
Get inspired by Make Thrift Mend to lengthen the lifespan of your clothes whilst adding beautiful new design details with slow stitching, patches and botanical dyes – and a Sarah Campbell Designs bookmark will make sure you don’t lose your page! Creating sustainable fashion has never been more important, and Circular Fashion provides an accessible, practical, and holistic approach to this key topic for students, creatives and anyone passionate about sustainability and fashion. Keep your mending notions (including the ever-essential Merchant & Mills seam ripper, chalk and thimble) together in a Sarah Campbell Designs pouch (visit our on-site shop to see our selection) – and on leaving the house, make sure you have a Merchant & Mills Rapid Repair Kit to hand and you’ll never be flummoxed by a wardrobe emergency!
