Fabrics

While in London a visit to Berwick street was a must for visiting the fantastic fabric shops while keeping the trench project in mind..

The fabrics themselves were definitely inspiring themselves with the quality and textures.

I'd been thinking about possible fabric choices for the trench collection, however nothing had been finalised, some research into rubber had been done and a fabric sample back of rubber had been delivered to me to look at. Once i had the feel for rubber I then expanded my thoughts onto plastic while searching around the Berwick fabric shops where i bought some stiff plastic (inserts onto the leather in mind) and some softer much more flexible plastic which would be great for an effective transparent trench.
