Merchant & Mills
Merchant & Mills continues to grow steadily, evolving and developing as experience and ideas demand. Carolyn and Roderick now travel the world in search of unique and beautiful fabrics, finding aesthetic and practical inspiration along the way. Merchant & Mills products are stocked in the world’s most respected outlets and the company has successfully collaborated with London’s V&A Museum and Alexander McQueen.
Over the past two years, they've moved the core fabric collections to more sustainable options and have discontinued ranges that did not meet the right criteria. We focus on natural fibers, especially linen and we have been expanding our Hemp and Tencel offerings as these two fibers score high on the eco-charts. Where possible they have moved over their cotton ranges to an organic base. The landscape with sourcing raw materials is constantly changing so they are having to react and find the best option available at the right price for the customer. They work closely with partners around the world to offer a selection of deadstock. Deadstock fabric is excess fabric from fashion designers, movie sets, and fabric mills that is no longer needed for the job it was originally intended for. This fabric would otherwise end up in landfill.
