By Walid’s folio of antique fabrics is filled with one-of-a-kind finds: French linens and sun-washed chintzes feature, as does a selection of ecclesiastical embroidery. With them, he creates wearable art that draws you into the history and story behind each one. This robe is pieced together from embroidered Chinese silk kimonos uncovered from the 1920s. Each textile is cleaned, backed, restitched and fixed entirely by hand, with fine details that invite closer inspection, such as the stitches and intricately laid motifs.

Meet the Maker:

By Walid

Transforming 18th century quilts and vintage treasures into wearable art and homewares, By Walid was founded by British-Iraqi designer, Walid Damirji. The zero-waste label repurposes all manner of vintage fabrics including Rococo silks and pastoral embroideries to dream up one-of-a-kind pieces that create big impact at home, but little-to-none on the planet – a win win.
