Ann Louise Roswald

Print
“Ann Louise Roswald’s colourful, floral and graphic prints are instantly recognisable, with a distinctive style, personality and hand-writing that really do set her apart from the rest of the pack” WWB Profile Feb 05

Our prints are original designs that are produced using screen printing techniques.

“designer Ann Louise Roswald’s florals are so stylised that you might not realise she paints her botanical designs from life, subtracting detail to concentrate on form and colour” Vogue Oct 03

Signature prints are applied to garments in many ways; all-over designs or as placement prints, as linings in coats so that garments are just as special on the inside.

“Ann Louise Roswald, womenswear designer, is one of London’s strongest exponents of printed textiles. Her style is soft and feminine with a twist” The Times July 06

Embroidery & Appliqué
We apply artisanal methods to exquisite fabrics and use hand-finishing techniques to create timeless, heirloom pieces. Designs include the 'cornelli' embroidered daisies embedded with twinkling Swarovski crystals, individually dyed silk flowers hand appliquéd onto raw silk fabrics and the ‘cornelli’ embroidery hand finished with hundreds of metal beads.

Weaves
Our heavy wool tweeds are produced in Scotland by an artisan producer who creates the fabrics exclusively for our label. In summer woven fabrics come from Suffolk where we work with a family-run company who have been in business for 9 generations, the fabrics they weave for us are designed by Ann Louise and exclusively ours.

Jacquard
Jacquard weaves, created from Ann Louise’s prints, are produced in France from the finest silk and wool yarns. By using our own designs to create the weave we guarantee the exclusivity of the fabric.

Knitwear
We use the finest yarns from Todd & Duncan in our cashmere and lambswool knits. Chunky-knit lambswool jackets are created from hand knitted ‘bobbles’ offering luxurious winter elegance and the ultimate in soft, cosiness. Accessories come in many shapes; beanies and berets and extra long scarves. Sleek, simple cashmere sweaters are injected with a contemporary twist with cut-out detail and voluminous bell sleeves.

Sheepskin
Hand printed sheepskin featured in Ann Louise’s graduation collection for which she won the Real Sheepskin Award. Later designs include screen printing and applique onto sheepskin to create unique garments.

Swimwear
Our swimwear comes in both print and block colour and has a fantastic reputation for quality and fit. The metal fastenings are made from ZAMAC which is completely resistant to both heat and corrosion.
