Last week, the contestants returned to the sewing room once again for Winter week which saw the sewers create a men’s flannel shirt, transform scarves into a wearable garment, and finally produce a festive party dress, perfectly fit for any Christmas party!

Closs and Hamblin was established in Baker Street, London in 1933 and on 5th April 2021, we celebrated our 88th Birthday!

So, sit back, relax, and welcome to our whistle stop tour!
After what has been the toughest year for retail, it has never been more important to shop locally. The high street is the heart of a town, and where you choose to shop can really help local business owners get back up and running! Whether its popping to your local bakers for a loaf of bread, or buying a quirky gift from an independent shop, these small purchases can make a huge difference!
Spring is just around the corner, and with that brings new life, longer days, warmer weather and a general sense of hope. There’s no denying that after a Winter in lockdown, we are more ready for Spring than we probably ever have been before! On 28th March, British Summer Time begins which means that evenings will stay lighter for longer. Although this sounds completely wonderful, it can make falling asleep at night just that little bit trickier.

There’s no denying that we spent more time in our homes than ever before in 2020, and it’s for that reason that many people used the time to decorate that room they have been putting off for ages, or even decided it was time their home had a facelift! 2021 brings with it, a sense of light at the end of this long dark tunnel, and so we have a great reason to get excited about what’s trending this year in the world of interior design. From earthy, grounded colour palettes and Cottagecore to tropical brights and subtle monotones, there is definitely something to suit all tastes in 2021!
Curtains are probably the most popular of all window covering solutions, and it is clear to see why. This type of covering works seamlessly with any style of home, no matter how traditional or contemporary your taste may be. With a whole plethora of colours, styles, fabrics, designs and patterns to choose from, there is certainly something for everyone.
Curtains can also be used to create a real feature of your room and window space, whether it’s that ‘pop’ of colour you are looking for, or a softer cosier feel – the options are endless!
We aren’t the type to wish time away but we do enjoy a bit of warmer weather. We want to celebrate Spring, and to do so we’ve compiled our favourite Spring activities local to each Closs & Hamblin store.
