Marwood was founded by Becky French* in 2010. It began life as a blog in 2009 displaying a detailed sketchbook of research which ultimately inspired the concept and attitude of it’s first collection of neckties. This range was developed and crafted by expert hands in the UK, using fine English cloth.

The debut collection, which launched in January 2011 featured ties made from traditional English lace. These quickly gained the attention of ‘b Store’ in London, shortly followed by international stockists including Barneys New York, Tomorrowland in Japan and Harvey Nichols in Hong Kong.

The Marwood approach is to create products that ignite excitement from discovering something new and unusual, whilst maintaining a strong sense of tradition. The standard is now set for Marwood to continue producing innovative collections of quality items to wear and treasure time and again.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about Marwood, please continue to follow our journey.
