Ditchling Hound Patterned Paper Wrap
Printed for the Ditchling Museum of Art+Craft and is a recreation of a pattern from their St. Dominic’s Press archive incorporating a version of Eric Gill’s famous hound motif. Eric Gill helped to establish the Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic, an artist’s colony espousing principles of communal life and self-sufficiency in Ditchling in 1921. The museum, housed in the old Ditchling village schoolhouse, holds a permanent collection of the outpourings of this very active community, which was only finally disbanded in 1989.
Linen Dress
Classic, simple, elegant, handmade light grey dress carefully handsewn by wonderfully talented seamstresses in London from 100% linen sourced from a Lithuanian manufacturer's deadstock. Made from lighter linen, perfect for hot summer days, or it can be layered for cooler seasons. One size that fits and looks beautiful and different on everyone depending on their personal style. Features include a collar, drop shoulders, 3/4 sleeves, side pockets, metal popper fastenings through the centre front or back (depending on how you choose to wear the dress). Double-stitched for better durability. The wrinkles/creases add to the unique natural beauty of the fabric, but you can iron them smooth for a more refined look. The fabric becomes softer with washing.
