In advance of COVER<\/i><\/span>\u2019s exclusive interview later this year with Daniel Harris<\/a>, Founder of the London Cloth Company, where we will reveal the weaver\u2019s collaboration on a line of tweed upholstery fabrics, we highlight one of Harris\u2019s line of suit-weight tweeds (below) \u2013 the \u201cLaundry Bag\u201d<\/a>. (continued) <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"London<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

British readers with a keen eye for the top selling goods at \u201cPound Shops\u201d on the UK\u2019s High Streets, will recognise the red, white and blue tartan design as the same pattern found on the ubiquitous cheap, square, plastic, zip top handle bags used for \u201claundry\u201d and one of the ultimate last resorts (just a notch above bagsying cardboard boxes from supermarkets) for packing up student digs. Our French fans across the Channel will know the bag as the \u201cTati\u201d named after the cheap and cheerful chain store. (continued)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Elle<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With admirable understatement, Harris\u2019s website cites the design as one \u201cnot normally associated with tweed.\u201d Indeed. But Harris\u2019s wry, tongue-in-cheek reference is part of a zeitgeist. Vogue<\/i><\/span> (US), November 2013 and ELLE D\u00c9COR<\/i><\/span> (UK), December 2013 highlighted the trend, each citing Phoebe Philo\u2019s \u201claundry bag\u201d designs for haute couture fashion brand C\u00e9line. Does the trend have legs? Did our own local lad Daniel Harris start the trend (seeing as his Laundry Bag tweed is from his 2011 collection)? We don\u2019t know, but who dares wins, and for now at least, winners wear laundry bags. END<\/span><\/p>\n
