Bespoke Fabrics

Since I was about 10 years old I have been fascinated by fabrics and prints. I just love Vintage prints and have spent my life searching for and loving them. So much so that I think I had trouble putting outfits together as everything I owned was some kind of print. I was probably 13 before I realised I probably shouldn’t be mixing them. I was fascinated with all kinds of prints. Big beautiful florals to cheeky novelty prints. So I am now absolutely ecstatic to be making our own... Read More

Pink Label

Our Pink label just got a whole lot better!   Making my own clothes is a lot of fun and something I have always enjoyed. But now I am happy to say we have started printing our own fabrics. These fabulous prints take influence from Vintage designs and are created exclusively for Vivien of Holloway. You will only see them here. I am so proud and excited this is a goal I have been chasing for a long time yet it came knocking at my door after I searched for... Read More

Fresh New Florals!

I’m sure you ladies have seen all our lovely new florals this season. Since I know many of you just can’t get enough of these dresses we have decided that most of the prints will be limited edition. This means we will probably only do one run rather than carry the fabric for a whole season. Most of the new florals will be in the sateen fabrics which I know you ladies love as it has a very slight amount of elastane in it for a more comfortable fit. So... Read More

Just crazy about Jezebel!

  At Vivien of Holloway, we do love an elegant neckline and figure flaunting skirt. That’s where our Jezebel comes in!

The great news is that this best loved style is now re-stocked in lots of gorgeous fabrics!   The wrap top of the Jezebel dress is flattering for all bust sizes and gives a little bit of coverage for those of us conscious of our arms! The pencil skirt... Read More

Gorgeous Gingham!

Here at Vivien of Holloway, Gingham is a way of life. Our Halterneck and Gypsy Tops in Red, Black, Blue and Pink Gingham are wardrobe staples for the warmer months. We simply can’t get enough of it! Gingham first arrived in Europe in the 17th Century as a striped fabric and evolved into a check when being produced in Manchester mills. Worn famously by French actress Brigitte Bardot for her wedding dress, Gingham became so popular there were shortages of the fabric at the time! So, to add to the... Read More
