Why do we feel once we set foot on the shooting field clothing has to be ‘dull’ and positively ‘unsexy’? Not any more Holland Cooper turns tweed on its head.
During the last 5 years there has been a significant increase in the number of ladies participating in clay target shooting, it has now become a popular choice for hen parties and works outings,
Ladies shooting over the last few years as grown in popularity so much it’s just unbelievably amazing, it’s one of those sports that has been pushed to be viewed as a male dominated area but for the ladies to come forth and show it’s not just a sport shows its popularity even more.
Just searching the internet for information on ladies shooting and many different websites dedicated to ladies shooting, explaining everything from what to be seen in down to the competitions held within shooting areas. Even Dorset now have their own label on them ‘The Dorset Game Birds’ Since their formation two years ago, Dorset's first shooting organisation "run by girls, for girls" has gone from strength to strength. The original committee of four local keen female shots identified a real need for a new group dedicated to getting more ladies shooting and The Dorset Game Birds was formed. The founding principle was to build a network of like-minded female guns, which could meet up at various events make up teams in competition shoots and enjoy themselves.
With all this uproar with ladies joining in the shooting has brought that huge gap in the market for ladies shooting attire that Holland Cooper has swooped in and covered in the most elegant and chic way possible.
Searching for Ladies shooting wear can be not only uninspiring but a thoroughly unglamorous affair; a far cry from the luxury array of choice we have become accustomed to on the high-street. Look no further; Holland Cooper have firmly taken the ‘twee’ out of tweed turning the traditional British cloth on its head giving the once masculine fabric a feminine touch. Jade Holland Coopers realisation of women’s desire to enjoy country pursuits within attire that not only looks and feels sexy but also complies with all the necessary practical requirements of a working garment.
Holland Cooper has inspired a new wave of strong, sexy country wear with an urban chic touch. Dressing the ‘Elite Crowd’ all over the United Kingdom embellishing the shooting field with glimmers of colours and hints of limited edition hand woven tie silk that adorn the men and women all over the country.
For Autumn/Winter tweed opulence is combined with sheer glamour to create an iconic infusion between Quintessentially British Chic and urban attitude. Think burnt orange, seductive reds and vintage chocolate. There is detail, with gold embellished buttons adorning slim fit breeks, real leather, exaggerated shearling necklines and encrusted buckles encasing popping Italian suede. High frilled Edwardian style collars emerging from slick cut military style jackets adorned with the finest Goat skins that in furl the high end clientele attracted to this unusual British Brand.
All Holland Cooper tweed wear is 100% British, hand cut, designed and made within the United Kingdom.
