Fletcher & Grace Launches Brand New Collection
Heirloom Couture
We are excited to announce the launch of the Heirloom Couture Collection.
This sparkly, delicate and pretty collection is a collaboration between Fletcher & Grace and Heirloom Couture.
From 1930s Schiaparelli to 1970s Ossie Clark, renowned vintage couture artisans, Heirloom Couture (of London fame), unearth forgotten gowns longing to be remembered. Vintage gowns are lovingly restored, reinvented, and recreated using vintage french bugle beads, semi precious stones, exquisite fabrics and laces.
We love their work and couldn't help being inspired when we visited their gorgeous show room in London recently.
