About
If your breath catches at celestial draping, cascading layers of tulle, and romantic English garden motifs, look no further than London-based bridal and occasionwear brand Needle & Thread. Founded in 2013 by designer Hannah Coffin, the label has become synonymous with bridalwear that blends vintage romance – antique textiles, delicate florals, and heirloom prints – with modern craftsmanship and conscious luxury. Indeed, sustainability is house ethos: all collections are crafted with at least 90% responsibly sourced materials, a commitment recognised by Positive Luxury’s coveted Butterfly Mark. In partnership with Fairly Made®, the brand also traces and maps its supply chain, ensuring transparency from fabric to finished gown.
What began with a Singer sewing machine gifted by Hannah’s grandmother is now a globally renowned label, stocked everywhere from Harvey Nichols to Harrods and Selfridges. Needle & Thread’s signature aesthetic of timeless, feminine whimsy has won an international following, from members of the British Royal Family to Hollywood’s leading ladies (we particularly love the tiered backless ‘Lola’ gown and the tapered tulle of the ‘Rosella’). The brand’s Bridal ’25 collection, for example, is a love letter to Shakespeare’s Ophelia: think floral lace embroidery, ribbon flourishes, and sequinned droplets that shimmer with every step. Needle & Thread is the choice for ethereal magpie brides.
