S&B X Shrimps
Here it is: Quite possibly our boldest collection yet.
With London Fashion Week around the corner, we're excited to present our collaboration with cult fashion label Shrimps, who, among other things, have made faux fur oh so terribly au courant. Under the brilliant leadership of designer Hannah Weiland, Shrimps' edgy prints and brightly coloured faux fur jackets, coats and accessories are donned by the most fashionable in London and the world.
We thought we'd bring Shrimps' brilliance into the dining room, translating Hannah's signature style to the table.
For this collection, Hannah has added her magic touch to three of our classic fine linen tablecloths in bright pink, deep blue, and in stripes. We've even incorporated Hannah's signature faux fur into our designs in the form of indulgent swathes of pink or blue faux fur that hangs luxuriously around the entire edge of the table.
Take a look at the collection, see pictures from our launch party, and meet Hannah in our exclusive interview below.
love,
S&B

[Faux Fur Trim]
For our collaboration, we incorporated Shrimps' signature faux fur and developed two new powdery shades of pink and blue, making our Italian linen perfectly complement the luscious faux fur accent around its entire length.
[in Pink]
With matching napkins bearing the Shrimps logo, our fine Italian linen tablecloth with detachable faux fur trim is a real statement piece that's fun—and luxurious—enough for just about any special occasion, any time of year.

[in Blue]
While the blue might be a little more sedated than our bright pink version, the removable faux fur trim still packs a punch. It makes for quite the conversation piece when laid on the dinner table.

For this tablecloth, we took inspiration from one of Hannah's classic designs from her AW13 collection: The Mabel coat in blue, pink, and grey. We're admirers of Shrimps' knack for unusual colour combinations that are so right.

Q.
What makes a great dinner party in your opinion?
A.
I collect hand painted plates, so I love using these at dinner parties. But I would say that a beautiful, colourful table cloth is what brings it all together. And of course good food, wine and fun guests.

Q.
Who is on your ideal guest list for a dinner party and why?
A.
Grayson Perry – because I love him as an artist and a person. The Queen, Louis Theroux, Cindy Sherman, Albus Dumbledore … I love them all for different reasons but think the more random the bunch of people the better!

Q.
Do you like cooking? What’s your favourite dish to serve?
A.
I like cooking but at the moment I don’t have much time to do it! When I do have time there is a squid recipe that I love cooking: squid rings sautéed in olive oil, lemon and chilli. And as a starter I love roasted shallots and goats cheese on sourdough toast, garnished with fresh mint (a recipe I stole from the restaurant St.John.)
