Hawthorne & Heaney for Greggs x Primark Launch

February 18, 2022 by Intern

To kick off our 2022 live embroidery events calendar, Hawthorne & Heaney had the pleasure of Monogramming at the launch event for the hotly anticipated Greggs and Primark collaboration !

We were invited to the lovely Dean Street store in the heart of Soho, where the Greggs and Primark team had a wonderful setup for their press launch.

Customers who attended were treated to live DJ music, a photobooth, Greggs treats and sausage rolls, and of course the new clothing collaboration.

Some of our favourite pieces were the sausage roll socks, and the hoodies, jumpers and tracksuit bottoms. All of which sported the Greggs logo, fun slogans like ‘it’s a pastry thing’ and iconic sausage rolls.

The hoodies and jumpers proved especially popular at the Monogramming station we had set-up. Customers were invited to choose a Greggs yellow or blue Monogram for their garments. The event has been covered by several media outlets including the Mirror Online who shared a little video of us at work.

Some even got creative and coordinated their initials to match the logos on the sleeves.

It was a wonderful and fun event and some of our team even got interviewed whilst Monogramming by the Hufflington Post too!

October 5, 2021 by Natasha Searls-Punter

London Craft Week is alive and kicking this week in London after a skipped year becuase of Covid and delayed from it’s usualy May slot. However, if you are in London between now and the 10th October, there are lots of events, open doors and workshop on to get involved with. We are very excited to have our own little addition to the events, with live embroidery stitching taking place by a member of the Hawthorne & Heaney team each week day. They will be working on a range of hand embroidered pieces such as Broderie Anglaise, with one of our goldwork samples also on display.

We can be found upstairs from our home, at 32 Savile Row. Fast becoming the place to take a minute to yourself or grab a spot of lunch on Savile Row, The Service. The coffee is fantastic and the surroundings make you feel like you’re in your own movie when you are so surrounded by style. As they have ever changing tailoring and art inspired displays, it’s really fun to be working in amongst it all so we look forward to perhaps seeing a few of you over the next few days.

Hawthorne & Heaney for The Deck

October 4, 2021 by Natasha Searls-Punter

Events are back!

We were delighted to be kicking off the Autumn season with an event for The Deck, who like us live on Savile Row. They were celebrating the launch of their new collection of 4 must have shirts, created with legendary shirt makers; Turnbull and Asser.

We were there on the night as a live activation where the customers could have their shirt monogrammed while they waited with their initials for that extra touch.

As you can see from our behind the threads position, it drew quite the crowd but that comes as no surprise when the shirts are so beautiful.

Hawthorne & Heaney for Riley Studio

June 7, 2021 by Natasha Searls-Punter

It almost feels like normal! After a long break in monogramming events due to Covid 19, Hawthorne & Heaney has had the pleasure of having our first live event of 2021 for the lovely Riley Studio.

Last month, we took one of our machines and sent a member of the team over to their Notting Hill store to personalise some cute calico bags for their children’s range.

Adding that little personalised touch to a customer’s item can make the visit all the more memorable, whilst showing them how it is done and the process behind crafted pieces.

Hawthorne & Heaney on Wedding Invites

September 25, 2020 by Natasha Searls-Punter

Quite a few months ago, we were working on this really fun project that got us yearning for the summer when it was still a bit grey.

With it’s bright colours and quirky design, these have to be about the coolest wedding invites on the block. We were tasked with adding the stitching to the edges of these postcards in a thick, bright pink thread.

We would be chuffed to get one of these through the post, I’m sure you would agree.

So if you are planning now for a smaller, more personal feel to your invitations, why not consider having us help you with your own stitching style touches?
