Fable and Fray came from a love of natural fibres and vintage textiles. Each piece is lovingly handmade with its own personality, a slow little poem in a fast-paced world.
FABLE pieces will always be made from new or dead stock fabric (also known as NOS or new old stock). Currently creating from vintage deadstock fabrics, some of which have come in their original packaging with fresh factory folds.
FRAY pieces are made from vintage fabric which isn't deadstock. Though we can't guarantee they haven't been used, these fabrics are always very carefully sourced, and are quite often rare vintage textiles transforming into the most interesting and unique pieces.
Crochet pieces are all made with new yarns.
All fabric is washed and pre- shrunk.
The textiles we are using come from the 1960's and 70's, where printing techniques were vastly different to those of today. Imperfections in the prints are not unusual and not to be seen as faults. They are part of the charm of owning clothing made from vintage textiles.
We look forward to sharing our world with you.
