This season, MARGARET HOWELL is releasing a collection using fabrics specially ordered from FOX BROTHERS. A special video has been released to commemorate the long-standing collaboration between the two companies.
Fox Brothers is a long-established brand known as the "byword for British flannel," boasting high quality and tradition. For Margaret Howell, they are one of her most important suppliers, and she creates items using Fox Brothers fabrics every season. This year's collection includes men's coats (¥140,000) and jackets (¥69,000), while women's jackets (¥68,000) and skirts (¥52,000) are available.
The relationship between the two companies has continued for a long time, dating back to when Margaret started her brand, and to commemorate this long-standing collaboration, they have launched a special video.

"I first learned about Fox Brothers when I visited the British Woollen Goods Exhibition at the Dorchester Hotel in London. It was the late 1970s, and I had just started making clothes. There was an older gentleman sitting alone at their booth. It was David Fox, and he seemed surprised that a young woman was showing interest in his fabrics. But when I saw his pinstripe suit and the fabric swatches, I immediately knew that this was the company I was looking for. That's how I've known Fox Brothers ever since."
"They have always remained true to their long-standing British know-how, remaining in the same location where they were founded over 200 years ago, and continuing to produce the highest quality worsted and flannel suiting fabrics. These are principles I respect," says Margaret Howell.
Why not enjoy the collection that embodies the principles of both companies?
