The Welsh Girl was founded by Julie Leonard in 2015 on returning to her Welsh roots after 25 years in the fashion and photographic industry in London. With a passion for wool and a vision to re-ignite and celebrate the heritage textiles of Wales she works with the cloth in a unique and contemporary way.
The fabric, 100% wool, consists of the iconic double weave often referred to as Welsh Tapestry; and Welsh flannel, a single weave cloth with a long and interesting history. Working closely with the mill, the cloth is woven in limited edition runs and colour combinations unique to TWG©.
Each piece is designed and handmade at TWG© studio in Hay on Wye, a small town in the foothills of the Black Mountains. The range consists of the signature poncho, coler cwtch scarves, bags, belts, cushions and bespoke soft furnishings. TWG© also offers one of a kind commissions and collaborations.
Quality, craftsmanship, functionality, and sustainability are at the core of the brand. Beautiful lifestyle designs inspired by workwear and created in colours taken from the landscape – practical, timeless, unisex pieces that are versatile and made to last.
A MODERN TAKE ON TRADITION… keeping the looms going and heritage alive!
All products are designed and made at my studio in Hay on Wye.
The fabric is woven in colour combinations unique to the brand at one of the few remaining mills in Wales - Teifi, part of the Museum of Wales.
All fabric and main components made in the UK. I strive to support British wherever possible.
