La Mandarine
La Mandarine has a wonderful collection of beautiful and unique block printed, quilted jackets and waistcoats as well as handmade cotton pyjamas.
Great prints and fabrics, many hand printed, are a great way to create a simple yet elevated and unique look.
Our clients want that individual, 'boho' global traveller look that can appear so effortless but in reality is anything but. Definitely not high street and not ubiquitous. Our customers come to us for those one off pieces that they won't find elsewhere.
Our clothes are designed here in the UK and ethically produced in Jaipur, India, which is the global centre for Block printing, to my specific quality standards. I personally spend several months a year in Jaipur overseeing production.
Our fabrics are produced in a sustainable way and come from from an identifiable source. I only work with carefully chosen small organisations who adhere to ethical employment practices.
The traditional Indian techniques of hand block printing and hand embroidery help make our pieces unique. And in our own small way we help keep these traditions and artisan techniques alive.
