We were really excited to help Bicester Village launch their 'British Wool Collective' pop-up, just in time for Wool Week. The concept was to create a quintessentially British store showcasing the best of British wool fashions. Our Timorous Beasties carpets for the home and QuickWeave carpets for commercial clients looked amazing as part of the decoration for the press launch. Take a look at our video from the event:

Bicester Village communications director Sophie Hedley said: "From all the great British knitwear brands in the pop-up, to the guerilla knitting peppered throughout the village and the wonderful carpets kindly lent to us by Brintons, Bicester Village is all things woolly this Christmas."

The specialist boutique is open until the beginning of January 2017 and is the perfect destination for some Christmas shopping, with a collection that includes the perennial woolly jumper, gloves and accessories from a fine array of British brands such as Markus Lupfer, Pringle of Scotland, Brora and many more.

Brintons has had lots of fun as part of this year's Campaign for Wool's Wool Week.

First up was the Wool BnB - every room, from kitchen and bedroom to cosy outdoor shepherd’s hut, was kitted out with wool products designed and made by some of the country’s most talented designer makers. Everything from carpets to cardigans, even cereal boxes and newspapers were made from the fluffy stuff! Brintons Abbotsford Border Plaid looked beautiful in the dining room and Abbeyglen Fermanagh Plaid could be found in the study.

Bicester Village is already an unparalleled fashion destination and were pleased to play their part on Wool Week with the opening of the British Wool Collective on Thursday 13 October. The specialist boutique is open until the beginning of January 2017 and is the perfect destination for some Christmas shopping, with a collection that includes the perennial woolly jumper, gloves and accessories from a fine array of British brands such as Markus Lupfer, Pringle of Scotland, Brora and many more. We were pleased to help dress the outlet with some of our beautiful carpets for the press launch.

The Campaign for Wool will mark its seventh successful year with its annual ‘Wool Week’. Taking place from the 10th – 16th October, Wool Week celebrates everything woolly with a week of fun activities.

The ‘Wool BnB: Living with wool’, will launch, where everything from interiors to fashion will be made of wool. Everyone is invited to visit the BnB and learn more about wool as a fibre whilst taking part in workshop evenings, interactive talks, film screenings and styling sessions. Brintons have supplied some Abbeyglen and Abbotsford carpets as part of the display.

Bicester Village will be celebrating Wool Week too by launching a quintessentially British boutique - "British Wool Collective" - featuring a number of wool focussed fashion brands. You can experience the Timorous Beasties Platinum Grain Du Bois and Ruskin Butterfly carpets first-hand as they help decorate the outlet for the season. Brintons have always worked closely with the world of fashion and in 2003, Brin­tons launched its 'most luxurious carpets in the world campaign', working with renowned shoe designer Manolo Blahnik - see some of these shoes on display at the village too!

Nicholas Coleridge, Chairman, Campaign for Wool and President of Conde Nast International said "We are so delighted that Bicester Village is getting behind His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales's Campaign for Wool. The ecological of Bicester Village are well known, and it feels absolutely appropriate that they are backing the movement for wool, with all its messages of sustainability and fashionability."

As one of the largest consumers of British Wool, we have long been champions of Campaign for Wool and were delighted to have been asked to showcase some of our favourite designs as part of Wool Week's activities.
