William and Tilda
William and Tilda create authentic reproduction accessories from 1940s wartime Britain. Each piece embody’s the ethos of wartime restrictions and the make do and mend campaign.
Utilising fabric scraps from local Yorkshire mills, they minimise waste by creating a diverse product range, using even the smallest remnants to craft flower brooches inspired by original wartime patterns.
Their focus extends beyond craftsmanship to storytelling, each piece offering a glimpse into the lives of the women who originally made and wore such items.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 of the era, whilst also promoting sustainability.
