Founded in 1971, Thorp of London was created by Bernard Thorp, a passionate, avant-garde designer. The first collections were made up of artists’ drawings and antique textiles, sourced at auctions with an authentic English style. The brand soon established its workshop in the heart of Norfolk, and established itself as an expert in traditional hand screen printing. In 2022, Maison Pierre Frey acquired Thorp of London with the aim of preserving a traditional technique and to further enhance luxury craftsmanship.
