Custom craft in Bradford

Bradford was built on wool — the city that turned fleece into fabric for the world. There is a natural kinship, then, between Bradford and the handloom valleys of Swat and Chitral, where wool is still washed, spun and thrown by hand much as Yorkshire’s mills once did.

Bradford occasions. A handloom shawl with embroidered initials has become a favourite Bradford gift for elders — commission a pair for parents or grandparents and we match the weave across both.

Frequently asked in Bradford

Is the wool really handwoven?

Yes — Swati shawls and patu are woven on handlooms in the northern valleys, then finished by hand. Each piece carries small irregularities that are the signature of the loom.

Can I choose the exact colours?

Shawls are woven in natural shades or dyed to your palette. Describe your colours in the enquiry and we confirm the match before weaving begins.

How should I care for handloom wool?

Dry-clean or gentle hand-wash cold, dry flat, and store folded with cedar or lavender. Care notes are included with every wool commission.
