We're thrilled to announce a significant partnership that adds a new layer of elegance and heritage to our bespoke suits: Coldharbour Mill. As a prominent industrial heritage site, Coldharbour Mill aims to educate and inspire future generations while preserving the legacy of textile manufacturing.
A Brief History of Coldharbour Mill
Coldharbour Mill has a rich history that dates back to the Domesday Book. The current woollen mill has been in continuous operation since 1797. Recognised by English Heritage as "probably one of the best-preserved textile mill complexes in the country," the mill retains a vast collection of heritage machinery, archives, and power systems still in use today.
The Mission and Vision
Run as a charity, Coldharbour Mill is not merely a museum but a dynamic institution that promotes social wellbeing and combats isolation. Their mission to educate and inspire resonates strongly with our own commitment to craftsmanship and community engagement.
Unique Tartan Patterns
We are particularly excited to introduce four unique tartan patterns that will feature in our bespoke suit range:
- Devon Blue - A crisp, maritime blue that captures the essence of Devon's coastal beauty.
- Devon Green - A lush, verdant green inspired by the rolling hills of the Devon countryside.
- Blackdown Hills - A rich, earthy pattern that pays homage to the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
- Somerset - A vibrant pattern that combines tradition and modernity, reflective of Somerset's diverse landscapes and cultures.
These tartans will not only enhance the visual appeal of our suits but also carry the weight of English heritage in every thread, making each garment a meaningful piece of art.
The Sharif Tailoring & Coldharbour Mill Collaboration
The alignment of our values makes this partnership incredibly special. Both of us share a commitment to quality, sustainability, and preserving the rich textile history that makes our work not just a business, but a vocation. As Coldharbour Mill thrives on providing education, visitor experiences, and volunteering opportunities, Sharif Tailoring aims to weave these admirable goals into the very cloth of our bespoke suits.
We can't wait for our clients to experience this extraordinary blend of history, quality, and style. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting partnership!
