STYLE & PURPOSE

in 2010 Carolyn Denham and Roderick Field brought English bespoke traditions into the world of sewing patterns, scissors, and notions. Through their efforts an entirely new generation has embraced the idea that one can make their own clothes and have fun doing it. Everything about the line is finely tuned to the two words that Merchant and Mills use to defined themselves: Style and Purpose.
