Fabric produced on 19th century Lancashire looms at Quarry Bank, is being used to make a new range of clothing by celebrity tailor Patrick Grant.
Community Clothing was founded in 2016. The brand sells products that are made in factories in 48 towns and cities across the UK including 14 in Lancashire and Greater Manchester. The company aims to create and sustain skilled jobs in the UK’s textile manufacturing regions.
“My mission is to make exceptional quality everyday clothes, out of the best natural materials. Using fabric produced on Quarry Bank’s heritage machines, and from scratch, is a perfect fit for us. It very much resonates with the theme of my new book, ‘Less’ and my mission to support incredible craftspeople and to encourage people to value things made well and with care.”
Now fabric made on machines at the National Trust’s Quarry Bank is being made into a woman's shirt, shirt dress and a tote bag by Community Clothing. To see the range of products please visit their website.
