You’re early. We like that.

JUST ONE LAST LOOK…

Life has quite
enough beige.

We make silk squares. Bold, original designs to bring colour, wit and a little glamour to whatever you’re wearing.

Penelope taking one last look at home, with matching blue sky in the window and mirror, a simple private garden, a dog lead by the door and her suitcase ready

Slide around the room. There’s plenty to discover.

A LITTLE SILK. UNMISTAKABLY YOU.

At your neck. In your hair. On your handbag strap. And in Mr Mercer’s top pocket.

Our first collection is taking shape.

WE ARE SILK.

Consider this
your invitation.

To dress up. To go out. To make an entrance, even if you’re only going out to walk the dog.

Our first small collection of silk squares is taking shape. Original scenes, bold companion patterns and a very healthy appetite for colour. Come behind the scenes as we bring it to life.

A NOTE FROM PENELOPE
27 SEP 2026

The first sketches are out of the suitcase.

Three scenes. Three companion patterns. A dressing room, a grand departure and a drive along the coast. These are the first rough designs for the world we’re making.

Next comes the satisfying business of turning colour on a screen into colour on silk. We’ll share the samples, the refinements and the little decisions that make a piece feel right.

With colour, Penelope.
