William and Tilda
William and Tilda specialise in crafting authentic reproduction textile pieces from 1940s wartime Britain.
Utilising fabric scraps from local Yorkshire mills, the William and Tilda product range is structured to maximise the use of even the smallest scraps of material, echoing the wartime commitment to conserving resources.
Their focus extends beyond craftsmanship to storytelling, each piece offering a glimpse into the lives of the women who originally made and wore such items. This unique approach honours the resilience and spirit of women from the era, whilst also promoting sustainability.
