Step Inside: Our Story
Holland Street is the creation of designer Lauren Barfoot, launched in 2014 and shaped by a lifetime of pattern, memory, and textile heritage. Barfoot studied Textile Design at Loughborough University and the Royal College of Art, later refining her craft at Alexander McQueen and Zandra Rhodes, where her love for engineered prints took form. The brand’s story begins earlier still, in her family’s fabric shop — The Julian in Sherborne — and in the patterned rooms of her childhood home on Holland Street in Cambridge. Holland Street designs expressive pieces in natural silk and linen and is the creator of the Kafono™, a kaftan‑kimono hybrid offering newness and individuality for a changing world. Guided by Barfoot’s SENSE Method™, the label expanded into furnishing fabrics in 2025 and continues to be recognised by leading stores and publications for its emotional, hand‑drawn approach to print.
'Design is deeply personal. What we choose to wear — and what we bring into our homes — shapes how we feel and move through the world.
That’s why I create garments and fabrics that connect with you on a personal level, elevating comfort, confidence, and creativity.'
