Clothing to keep; a new collection to treasure

Charming hand crafted garments will be treasured for ever.
Designer, Eloise Grey, has produced a new collection
of beautifully cut and made garments, all woven with stories
to be passed on from generation to generation. These clothes
hark back to a time when clothing was made to keep.

Best known for her tailored tweeds, Eloise’s latest work,
The Garden Collection, introduces fine Belgian eco linen,
Romanian hemp, hand woven Indian hand-block printed
cotton with exquisite florals. All her work features fine
dressmaking details such as French and bound seams, bound
buttonholes and carefully sourced trimmings such as ceramic
and tagua nut buttons.

Perfect for the British summer, this romantic and individual
collection pays homage to mid-20th century writer, Vita
Sackville-West. It is also a gentle nod to costume drama, India
and Persephone books with garments named after other
authors such as Katherine Mansfield and Noel Streatfield.
Eloise Grey, based in the picturesque market town of Farnham
founded her label with a trademark collection of ladies’coats and
jackets made from the finest organic Scottish tweeds woven by
Isle of Mull Weavers.

Showing great respect for traditional craftsmanship, Eloise’s work
embodies a uniquely British tradition of style. She produces in the
UK and sources materials from sustainable sources. Her fondness
for mid 20th century writers influence her designs

One Tree Sapling Planted for Every Bed Sold

Go green this Earth Day (22nd April) and do it in style, in a sustainable and beautiful handmade wooden bed from award winning bed and sleep specialist Warren Evans.

Not only are you guaranteed a good night’s sleep*, but for every bed sold up to and including 22nd April, Warren Evans will donate one tree sapling to be planted in London by Trees for Cities, an independent charity that works with local communities on tree planting projects in urban areas.

Earth Day is an international event where companies and individuals around the world join forces to promote awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s environment.

The Warren Evans Bed Collection features a selection of affordable and stylish handcrafted wooden beds. Choose from:

 - The best-selling High Headboard frames, designed with sloping headboards, ideal for lazy weekends in bed, and designed to accommodate underbed storage units

 - The Space Saving Range, which comes in wooden and upholstered options, is based upon a floating design where the frame is tucked away under the mattress. This creates a unique sense of space whilst allowing for hidden storage, ideal for those looking to make the most of small spaces.

Joe Chown, Marketing & Communications Manager at Trees for Cities, says: “We’re thrilled to be receiving support from customers of Warren Evans. With responsibly sourced wood, and a sapling donated with special sales, we hope people will sleep easy in the knowledge that their bed has been ethically produced.”

So with the high quality of Warren’s products and his ethical practice you can jump into an amazing bed with a clear conscience this Earth Day – sweet dreams!
