Eloise Grey specialises in finely made enduring clothing crafted with fabrics that have a story in themselves. Her signature tweed collection is made from organic Scottish tweeds, woven on the Isle of Mull in undyed shades of native breed yarn. Her silk collection is a collaboration with textile artist and print designer, Ptolemy Mann, whose ikats she used to print onto organic silk satin.
Eloise works with tweed in the tradition of fine tailoring and makes in the UK. An enduring favourite with its Loden-coat inspiration, the Elizabeth II. Another staple is the de Beauvoir jacket.
The silk collection features the Maud and the Nancy dresses which have fine pleating. This enhances the movement and plays of colour that so characteristic Ptolemy Mann’s work.
In response to customer demand Eloise Grey produced a capsule menswear collection. The styles feature exquisite tailoring details and understated elegance. There is a formal and sharp double-breasted jacket, a single buttoned jacket and a mens version of her Toklas jacket.
