You can buy any of the products we have produced on their own or as a special price together. Cherchbi have the items on their site now and Marwood will shortly follow. The lining of this travel case is the Marwood 'staircase' pattern and is teflon coating for water resistance. We are proud of the results and look forward to hearing you thoughts. Thanks for all the tweets so far!

George Singer - Bespoke Chandeliers

The Marwood studio is busy at the moment. We are buzzing with collaborations, new projects, installation proposals as well as the new AW14 collection. Exciting times. Whilst all this is going on, it is even better to be surrounded by news of new, exciting projects that our friends are working on. Check out this "Big Sexy Diamond" as it has quite aptly been named. This is installed in the Saatchi Gallery in London. George Singer (fellow Somerset born friend and designer) designed this and installed it this week. Totally inspiring and beautiful results. With Frieze Art Fair in full swing, this feels like the right time to be focussing our attention on London's galleries and artists. The thinkers, dreamers, makers and succeeders.

Wool Week - Marwood Mohair

As it is Wool Week 2013 we thought we would take this opportunity to give you some more detailed information about our mohair socks. All in the name of wool...

***

Mohair is a silk-like wool yarn made from the hair of the Angora goat. Mohair fiber is extremely durable and resilient. It is notable for its high luster and sheen which has helped give it the nickname the "Diamond Fiber". Mohair takes dye exceptionally well, which is why we have hand-dyed our socks in exclusive colours to Marwood.

Mohair is warm in winter as it has great insulating properties, while remaining cool in summer due to its moisture wicking properties. It is durable, naturally elastic, flame resistant, crease resistant, and does not felt.

How can you wash mohair socks? Why doesn’t it felt like wool does?
Machine wash at 30 degrees

Mohair is composed mostly of keratin, a protein found in the hair, wool, horns and skin of all mammals. While it has scales like wool, the scales are not fully developed, merely indicated. Thus, mohair does not felt as wool does.

Mohair is a luxury fiber, like cashmere, angora and silk, and is usually more expensive than most wool that comes from sheep due to its unique properties.

Where does Marwood mohair come from?

Our Mohair comes from angora goats that are bred on a family farm in Devon. The yarn is then spun and knitted in to socks and then hand-dyed at the farm before the Marwood tags are hand sewn on. The process is highly monitored and executed to an extremely high standard from the beginning. This is why we can stand by this luxurious fibre and know that Marwood mohair socks will last for years.

Making of the AW13 Marwood lookbook...

Back in winter 2012 we shot the AW13 Marwood lookbook in Dalston. Having met Scott Trindle (who shot the images) in our shared studios, we got chatting about the concept of the shoot and he was on board. The results in full are on the Marwood website HERE. We thought you might like to see a few snapshots from the day capturing the awesome Scott (as Cocteau), photographer Scott Trindle and stylist Hanna Kelifa. Thanks to Russell Weekes for joint Art Direction and all in all a great team. As expected it was a fun day and the results are beyond what we hoped for. 

Rough (!) notes and inspiration below. Copies from the book of masters who took portraits of Cocteau. We wanted to capture the essence of Cocteau's character, awkwardness and style, as his friends and peers saw him.

Artist Statement

The objective in my work is two-fold:

First, my work is visual study and investigation informed by memories and tendencies both cultural and personal, as well as objects and rituals of everyday life, particularly those of my childhood in Korea. Of interest to me are patterns and relationships, ritualistic repetition, theme and variation, intersection of structure and chance, and the interplay between individual and collective.

Second, my work is research into safer, sustainable approach to printmaking that utilizes nontoxic techniques, while preserving core principles and possibilities inherent in printmaking as a medium. With this goal, I employ a collagraph printmaking process of my own that applies simple, modest materials and low-tech methods, and is uniquely specific to my intent and visual language.

Marwood - Menswear for Women

London Fashion Week commences in a matter of weeks. Sep 13 - 17. 

Marwood will be presenting, for the first time, an edited range of the latest 

SS14 collection - mixed in with classic Marwood styles - to create a curated

range of menswear for women. We want to show pieces that are traditionally 

menswear items that women would want. Whether styled with impeccable 

tailoring or an oversized men's shirt, women have been working this look for 

years. So, we wanted to extend the invite and introduce Marwood accessories

Marwood accessories are hand crafted in the UK. The offer will include ties, 

bow ties, scarves, braces, silk hanks worn as scarves and mohair socks.
