Over the years, Patchwork has seen its fashion surges and resurgence. The initial reason for patchwork was, of course, frugality - to make the most of any materials that might be available, even the smallest of strips. Whether the final product held a repetitive pattern or was more of a mishmash of anything at hand, the likable functionality and look of these clothes made them so detailed and interesting to study that it became, over the centuries, one of those magnificent and quirky fashion staples that we simply have to keep coming back to ... one look at today's selections and you can see why. They're beautiful, fascinating, timeless and classically bohemian.
