"Horrockses: A Legacy of Timeless Elegance and Quality" Step back in time to 1953, when Harvey Nichols showcased the exquisite creations of Horrockses. This renowned British brand, known as Horrockses Crewdson & Co, was a pioneer in cotton weaving. Their weaving shed in Preston, Lancashire stood as a testament to their dedication and craftsmanship. Established in 1791, Horrockses Crewdson & Co Ltd became synonymous with excellence. The skilled cotton weavers at their looms wove intricate patterns that would later adorn fashionable garments. In 1949, an advertisement for Horrockses Fashions captured the attention of style enthusiasts worldwide. Even earlier, in 1920, an engraving depicted the diverse range of advertisements showcasing Horrockses fabrics. These fabrics were highly sought after by fashionistas who appreciated both quality and style. The Amalgamated Cotton Mills Trust Ltd recognized this potential and acquired the company that year. The name "Horrockses Mills" echoed through generations as a symbol of innovation and creativity within the textile industry. By 1935, they had solidified their position as leaders with their unique designs adorning homes across Britain. In another advert from 1920 titled "The Cloth of the World, " it was evident that Horrockses Crewdson & Co Ltd had become a global phenomenon. Their fabrics transcended borders and cultures; they were truly admired on an international scale. Today, although no longer active as a company, the legacy lives on through its timeless creations preserved in museums around the world. From Harvey Nichols' iconic advertisement to images capturing cotton weavers diligently working at their looms - these glimpses into history remind us why Horrockses will forever be celebrated for its exceptional textiles.
