Holland Street: A Journey of Passion and Ambition

 

Holland Street is bringing joy, colour, and life to our streets with a modern and vibrant response to fashion design for the contemporary woman. We design and make beautiful, dynamic printed silk clothing for women who lead active, joyful lifestyles. Empowering a sense of self and style effortlessly.The mainly online business has an international customer base and is dedicated to creativity, innovation and British Textile Design. Our vision is to revolutionise luxury womenswear with our beautiful and unique, printed silk kaftan-style dresses and tops that inspire confidence and creativity, while celebrating individual expression.

 

We believe textiles represent who we are and how we feel. What we wear has the power to speak volumes. 

 

Our unique production method was developed when founder, Lauren Barfoot was studying for her MA at The Royal College of Art. Having a strong ethos in developing minimal (and zero) waste textile production methods, Lauren blends textiles, creativity, sustainability and innovation into her business practices.

Named after the street where founder Lauren grew up, Holland Street is more than an address; it’s a childhood home where Lauren’s awareness of creativity evolved and her journey of design education began. 

We believe that everything has a footprint, and by keeping to the smallest circle with the most minimal processes and natural materials, the choices you make in commercialisation can remain true to our labels values. Small batch production, all manufactured in London. Holland Street was created in 2014 and has been shaped by years of refining, redefining, and reinventing how we see the industry to build a better future while retaining the joy of design.

’Capturing the Zeitgeist ‘ 'Print pioneer Holland Street turns classic floral kaftans and kimonos into British-made masterpieces featuring bold designs on crepe de chine. Founder Lauren Barfoot, who previously worked for Zandra Rhodes, is passionate about 'hand-drawing' motifs to flow around the body. Geometric shapes are paired with classic floral motifs in eye popping colour combinations.’' Millicent Simon, Financial Times HTSI

 

 

 

 

 

The parcel arrived on time as promised, and what a beauty. The kaftan really is gorgeous and looks lovely with my golden hair. My stepdaughter is going to Bali next month and says the Pink Camellia item is perfect for there. So you have made two people very happy. Thank you very much and best wishes to you and your contacts for a very successful future. Pamela, Henley on Thames
