Hawthorne & Heaney to the Rescue!

March 28, 2018 by Eleanor Rowlands

There is nothing worse when a beloved item of clothing becomes damaged! whether it be a tear or a pesky moth has taken a bite.

While this may feel like the end of an item. Fear not, with a bit of embroidery we can bring your garment back to life!

With some tricks up our sleeves and a creative eye. We brought new life to this cashmere coat with some Goldwork bees!

Even though there were only a few holes we added more bees to make them a feature of the coat.

Hawthorne & Heaney Visits Molly Goddard’s ‘What I Like’ Exhibition at the NOW Gallery

January 12, 2017 by Hasina Akther

Central Saint Martins graduate and one of London’s newest emerging designers, Molly Goddard, is holding a new, interactive exhibition at Greenwich’s NOW Gallery where you are invited to sit and embroider one of her floor to ceiling tulle dresses for free. When an opportunity like this comes up we just had to go and check it out for ourselves!

In one large, sunlit room, the six colourful oversized dresses hang from the ceiling on pulleys so that the whole length of the dress can eventually be covered. You are encouraged to sit on one of the chairs around the dresses and embroider absolutely anything you like on them.

For Molly, the exhibition is about people ‘enjoying doing something with their hands’ and she hopes that people from all walks of life will come and make their mark on one of her dresses.

Around the room are simple and clear instructions for basic embroidery stitches, meaning anyone from an absolute beginner to an embroidery artist can come and express their creativity on the dresses. This is such a lovely way for everyone to experience embroidery and is a fun way to introduce people to the traditional craft. The whole exhibition is also very child friendly with blunt, plastic needles and scissors attached to a chain in the centre, making it an excellent activity for the whole family to take part in.

Collecting a oversized needle and some thread from the central podium, I chose a blank space and began to stitch directly onto the tulle. The whole experience was very relaxing and there was no pressure on what you did with the thread so you could just experiment and let your imagination run wild!

Each little stitch helps the dresses to grow and evolve and it was very exciting to be able to add my own personal mark amongst all the others in what feels like a huge community project.

The exhibition only opened and already the bottom of the dresses are filling up with an array of interesting designs and colour from a variety of different people. I can’t wait to see what they will look in February when the exhibition closes and one of the dresses will be auctioned off for charity.

Hawthorne & Heaney at the Guess Denim Promotion

October 22, 2015 by Natasha Searls-Punter

On October the 8th, Hawthorne and Heaney set up a monogramming service in Guess, Regent street for their denim promotion event with Glamour Magazine.

Alongside monogramming, the event also offered tutorials on denim customisation, and a photo booth.

The monogramming was free of charge with any denim purchase. Jeans were the most popular item to embroider, which were offered in three different postpositions. This one in particular looked very smart.

Monogramming is a great way to personalise a pair of jeans, and is becoming more popular amongst well known high end and high street brands. The colours offered on the night were either red, or white to match the stores branding, and looked very smart in the classic London font.

Hawthorne & Heaney at Harrods

October 8, 2015 by Natasha Searls-Punter

From Friday the 2nd to Sunday the 4th of October, Hawthorne and Heaney spent the weekend demonstrating luxury hand monogramming at the Hardy Amie’s concession in Harrods.

Hawthorne & Heaney at Harrods London Hand Embroidery

The Autumn/Winter “Made to Measure” event at Harrods focused on customisation in premium men’s tailoring, showing how different items can be personalised. Hand monogramming presented by Hawthorne and Heaney is a skill that requires attention to detail, patience and practice in order to produce pieces of the high quality that was shown over the weekend.

The font was designed for the event by Hawthorne and Heaney, and looks stunning when embroidered onto one of Hardy Amie’s shirts. There was a range of different colours and positions of monogramming presented during the weekend demonstration, including this subtle white on white example of a cuff monogram.

Hawthorne & Heaney with Orlebar Brown

December 17, 2014 by Natasha Searls-Punter

Hawthorne & Heaney with Orlebar Brown London Hand EmbroideryHawthorne & Heaney has been working with the swimwear brand, Orlebar Brown to personalise their swim shorts. Engineered in the same way as a tailored trouser, the Orlebar Brown shorts are suitable as both outerwear and swim wear because of their unique approach. This makes them much more versatile than your average garment, more the ‘short you can swim in’ than a swim short.

Hawthorne & Heaney with Orlebar Brown London Hand EmbroideryOrlebar Brown go to great lengths to ensure the highest quality for their garments, each pair of shorts is made of 17 panels and will have gone through 12 stages of hand construction before they are ruthlessly quality checked. Each pair has the classic tailored side adjusters allowing the fit and style to be altered for each wearer and are available in your choice of 4 lengths.  This meticulous attention to detail makes a monogram a perfect addition to there garment, cementing the personalised experience of purchasing an pair of Orlebar Brown shorts.

Hawthorne & Heaney with Orlebar Brown London Hand Embroidery

As with all the garments we work on, the Orlebar Brown short monogram is individually drafted, framed and applied before our embroiderers meticulously stitch the initials in Orlebar Brown’s signature font. This just gives the extra personal touch, adding to the luxurious look and feel of these fully crafted swim shorts.Hawthorne & Heaney with Orlebar Brown London Hand Embroidery

Hawthorne & Heaney with Navio Ties

November 27, 2014 by Natasha Searls-Punter

Hawthorne & Heaney with Navio Ties London Hand Embroidery

Navio ties is a very interesting tie brand that has taken the idea of monogramming and put their own nautical spin on it. Using Flags and Pennants they translate your chosen letters into Nautical Flag symbols, the likes of which have been used at sea for hundreds of years, and apply that to the tie. This creates a beautiful personalised item with a hidden meaning, except for those who speak the language.

Hawthorne & Heaney with Navio Ties London Hand Embroidery

The Initials represented by the flags are stitched into the silk of the tie itself which can be produced  in 4 different designs. The ties themselves are 100% silk, woven and made by hand in Sudbury, England and then brought to London to be embroidered by Hawthorne & Heaney.
