As Laslett England’s name spells out loud and proud, the scarf and pocket square brand is a thoroughly English affair. Its owner, textile designer Melanie Laslett, designs all her products at her studio in Hastings and they are digitally printed in Macclesfield by RASmart, whose work has a global following. She creates scarves (from £130), neckerchiefs (from £75), bandanas (from £95) and pocket squares (from £45), and takes inspiration for many of these from vintage designs and found objects.
Her latest piece is the diamond-shaped, silk crepe de chine Riviera Diamond scarf (£140, in scarlet or azure), which evokes the spirit of the Roaring Twenties and is designed to be draped around the neck with the pointed ends hanging loose. Laslett donates a percentage of her proceeds from the sale of her scarves to the mental health charity Mind.
