Made for each other: Burberry teams with The New Craftsmen

Two proudly British brands celebrate the art of craftsmanship through activities and installations at a new venue called Makers House

The concept of Britishness is so integral to Burberry's brand that the two have become almost synonymous in the world of fashion. Chief creative officer Christopher Bailey has previously drawn on the isles' long and varied tradition of artisanship for his collections - and he's bringing that to the fore for London Fashion Week through a project with The New Craftsmen.

The organisation works with more than 75 makers, spanning disciplines from textiles, silverware and furniture to ceramics, jewellery, glassware and more. Promoting the craftsmanship still being practised in Britain today, The New Craftsmen sells items from these independent artists through its website and Mayfair boutique.
