Timeless hand-woven scarves, shawls, throws and more are available ready-made in my shop. Every item is unique and comes with a money-back guarantee. Gift wrapping is also available.
From my studio on the banks of the Thames, I weave scarves, shawls, throws, bed covers, curtains and fabric by the metre. I work to commission for customers around the world, creating special textiles for corporate clients, boutique hotels and passionate individuals who appreciate fine quality and attention to detail.
Inspiration, news from the studio and exciting items for sale
My name is Doreen Gittens and I am Archipelago Textiles. I was one of the original tenants of London's OXO Tower over 25 years ago, and have been hand-weaving custom fabrics here ever since.
I specialise in hand-woven textiles and use only the finest natural fibres. Silk, linen, wool and cotton are transformed into timeless fashion accessories and interior soft furnishings. During my time weaving I have won several awards, and my work has also been featured in the Tate Shop.
