Founded in 1992 by Harriet Wallace-Jones and Emma Sewell, Wallace Sewell is a pioneering UK-based textile design studio with a vision to push the boundaries of design using industrial techniques. Seamlessly fusing traditional craftsmanship with modern production, the brand takes pride in manufacturing exclusively in the British Isles.

What do you produce?

Wallace Sewell is a UK-based design studio known for its innovative textiles, including scarves, throws, cushions, and rugs. The studio is celebrated for its bold use of colour and geometric patterns, often inspired by modern art and abstract paintings. Their diverse portfolio includes high-profile projects such as, designing moquette fabric for Transport for London’s underground seating and creating custom pieces for the Tate Gallery shops. Influenced by the Bauhaus movement, Wallace Sewell blends modern and traditional design techniques. The design process begins on handlooms in their London and Dorset studios, before production takes place at a family-run mill in Lancashire, combining cutting-edge technology with craftsmanship. With a focus on creativity and quality, Wallace Sewell continues to create unique, functional textiles that stand out in both design and craftsmanship.

Where do you source your ingredients / materials from?

At Wallace Sewell, we are committed to using the finest natural fibres available to ensure the highest quality in every product. Our merino lambswool is sourced from Wool mark-certified suppliers in Australia and South Africa, known for their premium wool. We also source our silk from China, where it is Oeko-Tex Certified, ensuring it meets strict safety and environmental standards. All our fabrics are woven in Lancashire, and the finishing, processing, and packing are carried out exclusively in the British Isles, maintaining a strong commitment to local craftsmanship.

Why do your customers love your products?

Wallace Sewell customers appreciate our confident use of colour and contemporary design, with bold, asymmetric blocks and stripes that seamlessly blend diverse elements in each piece.
