HEPWORTH | blouse | silk

HEPWORTH | blouse | silk

Designed and Handmade in Lancashire

Silk is a natural fibre with inherent breathability and strength. We have chosen a natural silk noil for a rustic yet cosy texture. This has a matt finish with little slubs that add character.

The Hepworth is a beautiful blouse with gentle gathers that fall from the stand collar.  A button front placket creates an overshirt/smock style. French seams for strength and a neat finish. The hem gently curves up at the sides.

The Story 

Inspired by  the British sculptor Barbara Hepworth.  Hepworth was born in Yorkshire and she was inspired by  her ventures  into the Yorkshire landscape with her father. Her father was a surveyor for West Riding County Council, and Hepworth accompanied him on his inspections of local roads and bridges." 

"Perhaps what one wants to say is formed in childhood and the rest of one’s life is spent trying to say it. I know that all I felt during the early years of my life in Yorkshire is dynamic and constant in my life today."  Barbara Hepworth

So comfortable

I have worn my Hepworth blouse so much already! It’s so comfortable and easy to style. It’s very flattering too.
