Herd’s S/S Collection deepens our connection to nature and its seasonal rhythms with the introduction of hand-loomed, plant-dyed cottons from Japan and India. Dyed, spun and woven in their country of origin these fabrics sit alongside our British wool and leather which represent centuries-old textile heritage, native materials in their natural ecosystems and multi-generational skills handed down family lines. Herd’s philosophy is to replenish and nourish the soil, landscape, animals and craftspeople we work with along the way. Our fabrics, grown from the soil and processed without toxic chemicals, can return gently to the soil - a ‘soil to soil’ system by which all our products are made.
S/S25 is named the Pomona Collection, for the goddess of fruit trees, gardens, and orchards. It is inspired by a life lived outdoors in the rhythms of the seasons.
Detail - The Quince Dress is long and fitted on the top with darts for comfort and shape. A-line, half-circle skirt. Belted at the waist, to tie at the front or back. Frills are doubled.
Fabric - The Quince Dress in Sage Mikkusu is made of dense cotton (not sheer) and is dyed using the 'Damaged, Washed & Dyed' method which gives it a lived-in, aged look and exquisite texture. We work with textile artisans, who abide by the principle of seed to cloth using natural and traditional methods within their appellation. The fabric is grown and made from seed to fabric in Japan.
