The village of Lavenham is an English Heritage dream, crammed with the kind of post card Tudor houses that American tourists go wild for.
In the medieval times though, it was a different kettle of fish. The thriving wool trade brought in folk from all over Europe and by 1202 it got so dam prosperous that the Abbot of Bury St Edmunds kicked off about it over shadowing his market.
These days Lavenham is all about the quilting of course. The brand Lavenham has been producing classic quilted items for both humans and horses since 1969. Renowned for their high quality craftsmanship and traditional British design, Lavenham’s in-house style is ageless. We especially love the hooded gilet, here’s a picture our fellow catfish gal Kayleigh sporting her Lavenham gilet whilst on a bracing countryside walk.
All our Lavenham stock has just gone down to half price so there’s no better time to invest in a bit of English heritage. Its not online yet so visit our Cambridge or Norwich store to view the collection.
