HISTORY

A traditional tie manufacturer established at the very heart of the English silk industry, Barnaby is the rolling foothills of the western fringes of the Peak District, the babbling Bollin that flows through our village and the stately viaducts that transported the trains to Silktown and back with our precious goods on board. He’s the narrow boats that pass up and down the canal, the steep cobbled streets lined with low ceilinged cottages and the grand old mills that remind us of our village’s heritage. Barnaby takes tradition and holds it close. He creates contemporary pieces with a soul that’s anchored in the past but with an eye that knows the present. The blue skies and green fields, the magical threads and the artisan hands, the head that knows and the heart that understands. Barnaby – gents luxury silk and wool accessories with soul and heritage where style and substance are perfectly woven together.
