OUR BRITISH HERITAGE
A chance meeting in a London Underground station with Vivienne Westwood, a decade in Notting Hill, and an invitation to serve as a royal dresser at Kensington Palace all left a lasting imprint on the brand’s style today.
After leaving my childhood home in a small Cornish fishing port to seek my fortune in the vibrant city of London in the 1990s, I spent a decade immersed in the world of fashion, working alongside some of the industry’s most influential figures. During this time, I was involved in shows set within some of Britain’s most iconic architectural buildings – experiences that continue to influence our collections today. Alongside my work as a stylist in the fashion industry, I ran a small business buying and selling couture, vintage clothing, and rare retro homeware, trading primarily at Portobello Market and throughout Notting Hill.
There, I built a loyal client base of influential figures within the fashion world. With the support of The Prince’s Trust, who awarded me a £3,000 start-up grant, and guidance from industry mentors, I was able to transform this early venture into something far more meaningful – a journey that would, in time, lead to Oscar & Patch.
Oscar & Patch grew from my love of nostalgic British Georgian architecture and interiors, inspired by life between town and country, alongside family life, vintage prints, and timeless design. After struggling to find homeware that balanced charm with sophistication - playful enough for children, yet refined enough for grown-up spaces - I began designing my own pieces. From this need, Oscar & Patch was born: a collection of thoughtfully designed, modern-vintage pieces for family life.
A ready-to-wear collection for child soon followed, inspired by my love of vintage children’s clothing and rooted in generations of family tradition. The first design, a knitted piece for my son Oscar, was crafted in Cornwall by his grandmother.
This is also the story of a Cornish boy and his dog. The name 'Oscar & Patch' comes from my first-born son, Oscar, and his faithful dog, Patch. Together they remain our muses and brand mascots, always close to our hearts – an emblem of our English home.First whispered across the Cornish countryside, the name was often repeated: “Ah yes, Oscar & Patch.” And so, it stayed. From Land’s End to New York and even a little British prince – the story has quietly travelled. Today, we invite you to share in it. Welcome to our family.
