Eloise Grey
Fine Ethical Clothing. Made in the United Kingdom. Fabrics Created with
Beauty and Respect. Organic Scottish Tweeds a Speciality.
Eloise Grey seeks a more considered quality that embodies respect for the makers, the land, the art of weaving, tailoring and the process of trying and buying. Her collection is a product whose time is in tune with the cycle of growth in the land and is treasured rather than lusted after guiltily. Wear your garment year after year and hand it on.
Eloise Grey was born and brought up in rural Surrey and has returned to her roots to nurture her design business. She started making clothes at 10 and at 13 doubled her pocket money by making skirts for a local designer.
She launched her womenswear collection in 2007 and her menswear collection in 2009.
Connecting to her Scottish roots, she was inspired by the Isle of Mull Weavers’ organic and ethical undyed tweeds. Her love of reading, writers and artists’ lives inspire her designs.
In May 2008 she won design competition: Land + Sea Competition for Excellence in Designs That Decrease Man’s Carbon Footprint. In February 2009 Eloise showed at London Fashion Week for the first time.
In November 2009 Eloise was selected for as one of twelve emerging craft entrepreneurs for the mentoring programme Crafted, developed by Arts & Business and Walpole ambassadors of British luxury. Eloise is mentored by Vice Chairman of Savile Row tailors, Anderson and Sheppard, Anda Rowland.
Eloise Grey is finalist for the RSPCA Good Business Awards 2010.
A keen blogger, Eloise shares her observations in her blog, Facebook and Twitter.
