Holland Cooper - The ‘Quintessentially British’ Brand.
This year Holland Cooper has taken city influences, combining London’s glamour, British eccentric and country chic to create the most exciting tweed campaign to date.
All Holland Cooper tweed garments are made in Britain, and all their tweed sourced from Scotland. It is this kind of promotion of British industry that is getting Holland Cooper noticed. In a world where primary industry hops from one country to the next depending on the cheapest possible labour, it is truly refreshing how Jade Holland Cooper, the founder and managing director of Holland Cooper, pursues the road not taken by many and supports British manufacturing. Jade started the company back in 2007, with the goal to bring London to the countryside, and bring heritage Scottish tweed ‘kicking and screaming’ into the 21st Century.
The brand combines bright tweeds and sumptuous suedes to create a range of miniskirts, classic longer skirts, tailored waistcoats, long-coats and jackets for women. They also have a thriving luxury tweed menswear collection of sports jackets, Gilets, waistcoats and breeks. Both the women’s and menswear are then mirrored for flair with the popular sportswear collection of hoodies, Trackies, polo’s, and t-shirts.
In the current economic climate it is difficult for most companies, especially for those who choose to defy the modern convention of heading east for primary industry; but Holland Cooper have managed to grow year on year, producing their new collection which is being described as ‘urban country chic’. It is this success that boasts them to be a part of the new British frontier; bringing back the heritage of British industry, and fighting off the recession on the home front.
In a time when Britain is a country of service industry, where everything is bought in from other countries and very little is exported, it is companies like Holland Cooper that will break the cycle and make Britain great once more; and it is us as consumers that must comply. We must support the new ‘British Movement’ and buy British.
