Creating innovative woven fabrics exploiting industrial techniques, they work closely with the textile industry in Great Britain to produce pieces, which sell worldwide. 

Wallace Sewell now supply over 200 stockists in 20 countries.  They have worked with various boutique hotels, designing and producing bespoke. Working from London and Dorset, this progressive studio pioneers excellence and originality within their woven products.

Their diverse portfolio includes scarves for the Tate museums as well as moquette fabric designs for Transport for London’s underground seating.

Wallace Sewell is known for their use of colour, structure and yarn in surprising geometric formats. Inspired by paintings and strongly influenced by the Bauhaus for its aesthetic and design ideology, Wallace Sewell strive to unite craft and manufacturing, embracing traditional techniques.  The initial design process begins on handlooms in the London and Dorset studios.  Production then takes place in a family run mill, fusing tradition with state of the art technology, allowing flexibility in order to weave a variety of qualities from small batches to larger quantities. Fabric is then washed and pressed at the finishers to give the cloth a luxurious handle. Since Wallace Sewell’s inception, Emma and Harriet are proud to have always worked in the UK, embracing the British Textile Industry for it’s wealth of expertise and production excellence.
