Alice & Astrid

Everything starts with the body; feeling and sensuality enlighten our lives, and they embody the qualities found in fabrics at Alice & Astrid. Alice & Astrid want to design shapes to complement your lifestyle. The inspiration for a collection often comes together at Astrid’s mothers cabin in Norway, high up in the woods overlooking the Fjord, far away from distractions of the modern world, where even a bath or shower have to be taken down in the Fjord. Once the designs are completed and patterns finalised from the design studio in London it's time to move to the final stage. Astrid then travels to south India, where Alice & Astrid design and make all their own fabrics creating beautiful collections with the help of their friends Micky, Lisa and Tony in India. Alice & Astrid produce excellent quality and workmanship. Nature plays its part too. Once the process of choosing the colour combinations is completed, they wait to see the outcome of the dying process. It is always exciting to see the colours form on the silks drying in the sunlight, the outcome a balance of all their efforts with nature, the whole process harmonizing with Alice & Astrid's own unique qualities.
