Why choose Orla & Fern

Orla & fern clothing is designed with real life in mind, comfortable, practical pieces made using carefully chosen fabrics and years of sewing experience.

Everything begins with the simple aim of creating clothing that feels good to wear and it's easy to live in.

Designed for every day life 

My pieces are inspired by everyday life, From pottering around the house, garden or a walk to the shops. The garments are made for dressing up or dressing down. 

Clothing that moves with you throughout the day making you feel comfortable. That's why you will often find pockets and elasticated waistbands in my designs.

Carefully chosen fabrics

I work mainly with natural fabrics such as cotton & linen blends 

While I love the look of linen, I often choose a cotton/linen blend fabric because they hold their shape better and crease less than 100% linen. The fabrics still have that relaxed natural feel but are a little easier to live with day to day. It also softens with every wash and it doesn't sit so rigidly on your body like some linen fabrics do.

The linen and cottons are breathable too, making them perfect for clothing that is worn regularly and loved over time.

Thoughtful Design

Rather than chasing trends , I focus on simple designs that can be worn again and again. Pieces that work across seasons and feel just as comfortable at home as they do out and about.

Made With Care

Each garment is designed, cut and sewn in my garden workroom, where I take the time to focus on the small details that make a piece feel well made. 

Orla & fern is simply about creating thoughtful clothing for everyday life.

Comfortable, practical pieces made with care and designed to be worn often.
