If you happen to have
visited the Heal's store lately you are sure to have been charmed by the array
of beautifully British made products. This season’s collections reflect
time-honoured techniques and Craftsmanship.
1 Modern
British: Whitstable collection.
Named after the
glorious British sea side town, this wholesome collection has a crafted feel,
taking inspiration from Welsh milking stools called Stick stools; the leg
detailing was originally designed to stop the struts from sticking into the
mud.

The Yorkshire based
textile designer has created an exclusive Limited edition collection for Heal’s
