Blackshore

A hand sketching a garment design in pencil

Blackshore began in 2017 on the harbour at Southwold in Suffolk, where a stretch known as the Blackshore took coal deliveries for centuries and its mud banks turned black. The clothes draw on fishermen, yachtsmen and boat builders and on trips along the Suffolk and Norfolk coast, and are designed for anyone, of any age. In October 2023 the shop and workshop moved to Holt in North Norfolk; the workshop has since moved again, to Rackheath, near Norwich. Garments are handmade in that workshop or come from small makers around the British Isles. Blackshore prefers slow, careful making to fast fashion, uses mostly British-milled cloth and offers visible repairs for life.
