Short profile:
East Village is a fashion label that draws on the beauty of embroideries from the East. The Autumn/Winter collection includes both day and loungewear, featuring hand-embroidered silk and cotton.
Detailed description:
East Village began with trips to far-flung places where I discovered beautiful fabrics and embroideries in village markets.
Our collections draw on the beauty of Eastern textile traditions. The silk we use is harvested from silk worms before being spun and woven on looms in the traditional way. After the silk has been woven it is hand-dyed and hung out to dry in the sun before it is sent by motorbike to a small workshop where the pieces are cut and sent to a village in Vietnam to be hand-embroidered. The cotton pieces are hand-made using traditional Indonesian embroidery techniques and take days to complete. Our embroidery designs are drawn freehand, so each piece is unique.

EAST VILLAGE
Henrietta TaylorI got three gorgeous dresses from them. The staff team is fun, helpful and polite. There are many times when I stop by to get something even when I don't intend on buying anything.
