Holland Street – Prints That Truly Pop

“Holland Street prints really pop,” says Financial Times HTSI writer, Millicent Simon, capturing the essence of a label that has become synonymous with bold British design.

Print pioneer Holland Street turns classic floral kaftans and kimonos into British-made masterpieces featuring striking designs on crepe de chine. Founder Lauren Barfoot, who honed her craft working with Zandra Rhodes, is passionate about hand-drawing motifs that flow naturally around the body, creating garments that feel both sculptural and fluid.

Geometric shapes meet timeless florals in eye-popping colour combinations, resulting in pieces that are as much about artistry as they are about wearability. From luxury printed silk kaftans to kimonos and robes, Holland Street’s collections embody a modern vision of elegance—effortlessly balancing heritage craftsmanship with contemporary style.

This approach places Holland Street firmly within the conversation about conscious luxury: garments designed not only to be worn, but to be experienced.
