The story 

Named after my next door neighbour when I was growing up. Joyce was always singing, had a smile and was never seen without her signature red lipstick.

Sourced with care

Where possible, I choose materials made in the UK and Ireland, or source through long-established UK merchants. For the things that can't be found closer to home, I work with trusted suppliers who share information about where and how their materials are made.

I believe you should know what goes into your clothes. Every Withnell garment comes with its own recipe, listing the materials used, where I sourced them and where they were made.
