Maker’s Choice – Scobel Clothing

Scobel Clothing is a carefully considered capsule wardrobe of versatile utility inspired items of clothing for women. Founder and creative director Jackie Parsons will be bringing her collection to Homeworks on Sunday 9 December.

Jackie explains in her own words the design philosophy behind her fashion label:
“I only wear clothes I have made. Inspiration comes from solving problems of wearability; tweaking the ‘cut’ so that each item is constantly evolving:

Where ever possible I strive to minimise pressure on the environment by using fabrics sourced from stock excess to the trade.

All items are designed, cut and sewn my myself in my studio in south east London. My favourite item is the cross back apron as it cam be worn by all members of the family in a number of situations:

Inspiration also comes from costume dramas which I can watch endlessly and visiting vintage markets and museums.”

Sir Plus

Homeworks’ favourites Sir Plus are back again this year on Sunday 10 December with their beautifully made menswear and accessories.

Sir Plus was conceived and created by Henry Hales, who recognised an opportunity for sustainable fashion using exceptional quality surplus fabric.

With extensive contacts in the major factories and fabric dealers from England to Italy, Sir Plus have access to the finest quality fabrics in an extensive variety of prints and styles:

Henry initially produced a small range of boxer shorts which were so well received he has now expanded to include waistcoats, dressing gowns, Nehru waistcoats and jackets, scarves, pocket squares and jumpers. The collections keep evolving and more products are on their way:

One of Henry’s favourite pieces are his Shetland wool gilets. With a touch of padding for extra comfort, these super versatile items are great for layering clothes and switching up your look:

It is to no surprise that Henry’s favourite place for inspiration is Portobello Road, where you’ll find him every Saturday, connecting with his customers and having a chat with those who appreciate his work.

Come and meet Henry and the team on Sunday 10 December.
