What’s magic about Linton is that there is constant variety in pattern, weight, handle and colour … so it provides ongoing inspiration.
INDEPENDANT TAILOR AND OWNER
I made a ridiculous 20 coats for myself out of Linton’s End of Line pieces and had huge fun matching linings and trims and perfecting my patterns. All those 20 coats were dismissed as “terrible” by the tailors I subsequently found and now work with, and have long since ended up in charity shops, but it was out of those End of Line pieces that Ednerat was born.
I love the patterns and textures; the packability and versatility of bouclé, and I love using it outside the “boxy suit” context. I order heaps of swatches so that I know what I can play with. I then either decide to let myself go, choosing the fabric by its pattern, colour, weight and handle and then work with that to design something that will work with it. We make coats and capes and skirts; tops even out of Linton Tweeds. The offcuts we use to make padded hangers and bags; hairbands and lavender bags. Not a bit goes to waste. We love variety and so rarely commit to full rolls, but are thereby able to offer our customers a seemingly endless amount of choice.
