Marchwood sells out, Minstead comes in

Monday, October 19, 2009

The New Forest collection launched last week and there's already been some pretty frantic activity in the store. The Marchwood design (below right) has sold out (thanks to that Kempt article) and a new design, Minstead (left), has just arrived instore. Minstead is named for the New Forest resting place of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, and it twists together two traditional Holmes-esque tweeds in signature Motto and Crest style. If you'd like to get your hands on Minstead, take a look instore here. It's also not too late to get hold of Marchwood,  pre-orders are being taken for the tie for delivery early November. You can pre-order either by completing an online purchase here as normal or by emailing chris@mottoandcrest.com.

Fresh First Form, now instore!

Thursday, September 17, 2009


I'm happy to say that there are a few new First Form ties now available instore, including the all-wool Wellbridge design shown below. All of the new ties are made with a 7cm width and the collection includes silk, wool and cotton ties, which means we've got all bases covered for traditional Autumn weather; rain one day, sun the next.
