Tallulah Collection: Bee & Sons x Pearl Lowe

Driven by a shared fascination for the fashion styles of the 20s and 30s, a circular knitwear brand Bee & Sons has collaborated with Pearl Lowe on the Tallulah collection. The collaboration is a natural fit in many ways.

Since launching her womenswear brand in 2017, Pearl has keenly supported UK manufacture, relying on a team of seamstresses local to her Somerset home. Pure cottons, silks, wool and crepe feature in her both home and fashion ranges. Similarly, Bee & Sons founder, Deborah Bee, uses recycled cashmere, wool, mohair and silk in her knitwear collections. A passion for reducing fashion-waste and producing clothing that will last a lifetime is key for both designers.

Adhering to the principles of slow fashion, the Tallulah collection from Pearl Lowe X Bee & Sons is limited-edition, made with extrafine merino wool, a 100% natural yarn, that can be recycled and will biodegrade naturally.

“I’ve been thinking about knitwear for a while. Many of my customers have asked me how I wear my dresses all year round, and I realised I relied on the same 1920s long fitted coat I’d had for years, that I picked up in a vintage shop in Paris. Deb has recreated this shape in a knit – with a waterfall collar, lacey trumpet cuffs and a gently fitted waist. It’s very flattering and works with all my dresses.

We couldn’t resist making some accessories to go with the cardigan – a loose lacey hat, a skinny scarf, a wider scarf and a selection of flowers in wonderful coordinating colours”, says Pearl.

The collection is vintage inspired, taking cues from many of Pearl’s dress designs, which look to the past for glamour and elegance yet keeping its relevance through a modern twist.
