THE CLOTH @ Harrods
First…
Caribbean cool meets Knightsbridge…
The Harrods x Brand63Africa pop-up has officially landed on the fifth floor of the iconic London flagship, spotlighting five standout design houses: Christie Brown, Studio Namnyak, Abiola Olusola, Sukeina and Trinidad & Tobago’s very own The Cloth.
The only Caribbean label in the edit, The Cloth joins four African brands in a stylish showcase curated by Brand63Africa founder Eva Omaghomi — moving emerging talent from niche discovery to the luxury main floor.
Consider this your sign to put African and Caribbean design on the Harrods itinerary. SO2 applauds Sophie Bufton and Robert Young.
Harrods, Knightsbridge
September 7 – October 27
From The Cloth
“It’s the one I love!”
A rather special reaction from Edward Enninful, former editor-in-chief of British Vogue and founder of EE72, on seeing The Cloth’s Mauby in tartan from our AW26–27 collection.
Today, The Cloth launched at Harrods.
It is an emotional day. There are moments, amid all the trials and tribulations along the way, when you are able to look back and realise that it was all leading somewhere. Today is one of those moments.
Forty years after The Cloth began in Trinidad & Tobago, our work is now on the fifth floor of Harrods in London.
Our deepest thanks to Eva Omaghomi and Brand63Africa, Lulu, and all of the partners and people who have helped make this moment possible.
