The High Street

A walk west along the King's Road, 1990-2010. If the label had a physical shop there, you'll find it here.

Real fibres and wearable designs were the hallmarks of the era, from Next—mid-level stalwart—to the high-end, high-fashion of Whistles.

This collection brings together the names that defined the heyday of the UK High Street: Jigsaw, Hobbs, Monsoon, and French Connection.

These were the years before the fashion turned to plastic, when it was easy to find good-quality, long-lasting cotton, wool and linen. Every piece in the collection is a survivor from a time when clothing was designed not for the disposable fashion cycle, but for the every-day and year-after-year of real life.

We have done the hours of searching so you don’t have to. Every garment has been inspected to ensure it is exactly what it claims to be: a well-made, natural-fibre piece that still has years of life left in it.
