ELWIN x Chilton Grounds Farm šŸ‘šŸŒ¾šŸ¤ Centre for Sustainable Fashion’s Dr Mila Burcikova (@milaburcikova ) presents ā€˜Future Fashion Landscapes’ (FFL) at the 2025 British Textile Biennial! @britishtextilebiennial The exhibition showcases the outcomes of a 12-month collaboration between CSF (@sustfash ), South East England Fibreshed (@southeastenglandfibreshed ) and South West England Fibreshed (@southwestenglandfibreshed ). šŸ—“ļø When? 2 October to 2 November 2025 šŸ“Where? ā€˜Future Fashion Landscapes’ is located at Pendle Heritage Centre (@pendleheritagecentre ), Burnley BB9 6JQ. ā° Tuesday to Sunday, 10am – 4pm. This exhibition takes you on a multi-sensory journey through four case study collaborations between farmers and designers. In this collaboration, ELWIN (@elwinstudio ) designed a piece which tells the story of Chilton Grounds Farm (@chiltongroundsfarm ), in Buckinghamshire - a 150-acre, third generation family farm run who have practiced agroecological farming for over 30 years. With no fertiliser or pesticides used for decades, Chilton Grounds attract over 30 rare butterfly and over 80 bird species, providing a varied habitat with drier and wetter areas. ELWIN is an independent slow fashion brand centering knitwear and seasonless pieces. Its founder Deanne Wallace, values the tactile qualities of materials, particularly those where you can ā€œfeel the hand of the makerā€. She was inspired by the soft handle and silky feel of Chilton Grounds’ Wensleydale yarn. Though less known than other ā€˜lustre’ fibres, Wensleydale can feel comfortable worn close to the body – contradicting the common perception of British wool as itchy and mostly suited for outerwear. As a longwool breed, Wensleydales produce striking long curls. Deanne developed a design that combines the longest of these curls with a simple base garment, foregrounding the distinctive properties of the breed. šŸ‘‰ Learn more about the exhibition & collaborations via the link in bio! FFL was co-funded by @farmingthefuture_ and @ahrcpress . The project is part of the @designmuseum ’s Future Observatory. Photos by Dr Mila Burcikova of the farmer x designer collaboration.

Crisp poplin and soft handloom cottons for Summer This Summer we have a beautiful black organic cotton poplin for our Tina skirt. It’s certified deadstock which means we’re using fabric already in existence, reducing our environmental impact. Styled here with the Maya top in a natural undyed handloom cotton. The Maya is an easy shape with a gathered peplum that can be dressed up or down. Modern, versatile designs that will take you through this year and next Hand made small batches in our atelier in London

Hand made All our garments are made by hand within a few miles of our studio. The fabric is cut, sewn and pressed one by one by hand. Clothes aren’t made by machines, they are made by people.

Did you know we have a repair and refresh service for your knits? 🧶 If you have a hole that needs darning, we can repair it and give your knit a refresh at the same time. If you’d rather darn a hole yourself, we can send you a yarn winding. We also keep spare buttons if you need a replacement. This was today’s job. No final picture as it’s still drying!

Introducing a new colour for the Alma funnel ribbed sweater. Chalk is a pale ecru colour. It makes me think of chalky cliffs and round beach pebbles on the Jurassic coast where I grew up. The same extra fine lambswool spun in Scotland and knitted in England A light to mid weight knit that’s perfect for Spring and early Summer days out when there’s still a chill in air. A small batch online now šŸ¤šŸ‘ Elwinstudio | slow fashion | made in England | British wool

Truffle cashmere & pistachio silk We don’t do drops. We don’t do a new collection every season. We do make beautiful clothes designed to last and move with you through many seasons to come.

The Ada cardigan in pink as worn by you Just came across this image of one of our customers. You’ve asked about the exact colour of the pink Ada, and this shows it well. With hints of magnolia and cherry blossom it’s the perfect shade as Spring unfolds 🌸 Crafted from British spun lambswool, knitted in a small heritage factory in the UK and brushed with thistles to give it just the right about of texture. Finished with organic cotton ribbon and British made buttons cut from corozo nuts. #elwinstudio
