We are delighted to be able to stock Victorian style ladies boots. These are a staple requirement for any late C19th to early C20th productions, and always difficult to find without modern embellishments.
This is the same boot as the SP1910, but here we have had them made with a side zip. Not very authentic but sometimes just essential for stage use.
The 2in high heel has been specially carved to a proper period shape, usually known as a Louis heel. Made in fine black leather.
These boots are made on a modern last and have memory foam insoles, so are fantastically comfortable. The soles are non slip. All leather uppers.
Available in European sizes 36 - 42.

As every costume department knows, finding decent footwear is always the most difficult problem to solve. Do they look right? Are they comfortable? Can they run in them? Do the soles slip? Do the heels fall off? Can we get very a good size range? Can we afford them? On it goes.
To address these familiar anxieties we have comissioned ladies period shoes specially from Portugal. They are the result of much debate and endless rounds of sampling but finally we are delighted to have them in stock.
The 2in high heel has been specially carved to a proper period shape usually known as a Louis heel.
Currently available in fine black and stone leather.
These shoes are made on a modern last and have memory foam insoles so are fantastically comfortable.

The soles are non slip. All leather uppers. Available in European sizes 36 - 42.
Available in Black and Stone leather. The Stone colourway is dyeable.

We are delighted to be able to offer these men's C18th shoes in stone coloured leather which can dye.
They are the classic shape of the era with tongue and buckle which can be worn in any production from around 1700 to 1820. The buckles can be changed but not easily, as we couldn't devise a simple way of allowing for this. There is however elastic under the buckle, which allows for ease over the instep.
These are leather shoes with leather covered heels. The footbed or insole is not glued down, so it can be easily removed for cleaning.
Non slip soles.
Made in Europe.

Some years ago we bought up a large quanitity of genuine vintage Liberty prints from an old factory in Kent. Much of the cotton lawn has been snapped up by people who recognise its value but we have been wondering what to do with the wool/cotton mix. During the lockdown winter we've been busy experimenting with ladies dressing gowns and are completely delighted with the results.
The fabric is known as Jubilee and is no longer manufactured. It is similar to Viyella being 82% cotton 18% wool and is entirely perfect for these cosy but lightweight robes.
Very beautiful, very stylish and very comforting!
We've made several proto-types before committing to this style which we consider the perfect kimono shape. The wrap around is generous and there are two substantial pockets. They are one size which realistically fits anyone from around a size 8-16 UK size.
Front facing and cuffs are trimmed with a distinctive binding.
Back length is 48" or 122cm from under the collar to hem.
Made with french seams so they look as good inside as out.
We are making them here in our workroom in 76-200 Słupsk and have a several made up ready to dispatch.

These Heavyweight Linen Jackets are the perfect answer to any man's dream of featuring in his very own Merchant Ivory production.
They are cut from an authentic Edwardian pattern, which is slightly longer than a modern jacket. Beautifully detailed, with genuine mother of pearl buttons. Even the cuff buttons are practical!
The linen is a really good heavy weight, as nothing is worse than flimsy, see through fabric.
The jacket can either be worn on its own or to complete the suit.
Made in England from very high quality Ivory Herringbone Linen and fully lined in 100% cotton.
You have made it clear to us that a fully lined jacket is preferable to half lined, so we have made that change. Some of the old half lined jackets are still available under the code, JA922.

We are very excited to have acquired a number of these original unused watch chains, which work brilliantly with our waistcoats.
They were manufactured by Jakob Bengel, a chain and costume jewellery factory, founded by Jakob Bengel in 1873 in Germany.
Until 1920, the company specialised in the production of watch chains and chatelaines (pendants for pocket watches). In the 1920's and 1930's, it became one of the leading manufactures of fashion jewellery in the Art Deco style.
It was during the Bauhaus and Art Deco period that designers were looking to obtain new materials and inspiration to produce costume jewellery. Inspired by French Avant-Garde and other fashion trendsetters such as Coco Chanel, Bengel started to produce experimental jewellery. The pieces, catalogued from 1924-1939, combined brass and chrome with geometric shapes of coloured galalith.
The watch chains themselves are therefore probably brass or chrome, but being vintage we cannot say this with any certainty. Please note these watch chains come in variations and may have marks or scuffs as they are vintage originals.
Total length approximately 25cm or 10in.
With the exception of colour 21, which is 46cm or 18in in length.
