Jigsaw x William Morris



After taking a look at the Jigsaw x William Morris collaboration, I've decided that it is beautiful and useful and welcome at That's Not My Age Mansions. As well as, on my back. To celebrate the William Morris: Anarchy & Beauty exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, Jigsaw has taken the Great Interior Design Challenge and teamed up with the William Morris Gallery to create an exclusive collection using archive prints. This fashion-meets-art collaboration has been available for a couple of weeks now, but I like to see things properly before I give them the That's Not My Age seal of approval. My favourite piece is the jaquard jacket (below), perfect with black trousers or jeans, or over a simple dress. The traditional Victorian pattern is brought up-to-date with a modern-day silhouette; cotton blend jacket, £179, available HERE.




As navy is the grown-up alternative to black, the cotton-blend jacquard coat is a useful piece too; £198, available HERE. And there's a close-up of the modal scarf with decorative pom-poms, £69, available HERE. All three items come in the Brother Rabbit William Morris design:





Now I just need to find the time to visit the William Morris: Anarchy & Beauty exhibition (on until 11 January 2015).

  2. I popped into our local Jigsaw shop at the week-end and was very impressed. They have some very nice pieces and the fabrics are good quality.

  4. That jacket isn't a shape I can wear, but I love its simple elegance! (it would be great on you, wouldn't it?!)

  5. I love this stuff! But the jacket isn't shown on the US site:(. Otherwise I just might have ordered it despite a No Purchase mode.

  6. There's also a wonderful exhibition at Leighton House, if you like that kind of thing. I really must get my second home in London (after winning the lottery - twice) so I can go to all these shows while wearing that gorgeous coat!
