The Luxury Textile Art of Charles and Patricia Lester
The Art of ...
The journey began fifty years ago. A simple desire to create grown up clothes for children developed into the sophisticated luxury women’s wear designed today. One by one, each piece is crafted by hand by our small, specialist team. They produce unusual wearable art for discerning women around the world.
Luxury Wearable Art for Women
Luxurious, elegant and easy to wear. Each piece is crafted individually creating sumptuously sophisticated outfits for women of all shapes, all sizes and from all walks of life. The Lesters’ artistry appeals to those who do not always follow fashion but are instead seeking something that expresses who they are.
Interiors Art
Unique bespoke art textiles for interior design projects. Luxurious cushions, throws and exotic bed spreads.

Seeing as you did so brilliantly with helping us find new names for colours, how about a name for a new style?
Just like any of our creations it can be made in any colour using a variety of prints so it is the shape of the garment that requires a specific identity.
So what do you think?
Other names we’ve used before range from classics like Florence, Venetian, Lauder and so on to things like Eccentric, Crazy, ( for asymmetrical styles), Anybody’s and soon.

We could do with a new name for this gorgeous purple silk. What does it remind you of?

Spring greens! The non-edible kind that tells of of the delights of warmer days and brighter sunshine on its way. At last! Time to get the paint palette out and create some new colours. It’s definitely the warmest day of the year here for a change. Spring has been a long time coming.

Is it any wonder that we love the Impressionists? Inspirations or just inspired by the same vibrancy of colour we all see in nature? Either way it was a delicious treat spending time at the National Gallery a couple of weeks ago and drinking in the colour and creativity.
