Holland Cooper bitefashion I t is hard to believe that British luxury brand Holland Cooper is just over a decade old. With such a unique name, you would probably think this exquisite tweed and modern clothing phenomenal with classic British heritage and equestrian style has a history spanning centuries. But the label synonymous with luxury and sought after for its tailored elegance and its fluent approach to blending signature coun- try style with statement city tailoring was founded in 2008 by Jade Holland Cooper. Without a doubt, the brand celebrates Great British Excel- lence at its best. After seeing a gap in the market for stylish country outerwear, Jade started to cut all of her designs her- self by hand despite having no formal training. Her business grew, and today, the founder manages a super high-end lux- ury tailoring facility, with thousands of tweed and wool gar- ments that are still hand-cut and made traditionally by the best tailors, pattern cutters, garment techs and machinists. At first, the collection consisted of simple tweed separates; then quickly evolved into signature statement coats, key tai- lored garments and complete outfit wardrobe staples. In 2018, Holland Cooper Equestrian was launched, a carefully curat- ed range of luxury performance-tested sports-luxe aesthetic in collaboration with British eventing gold-medal Olympian Carl Hester. In October the following year, their full-length Marlborough Trench Coat and High Waisted Peg Trouser were featured in British Vogue . With a refreshing country feel, Holland Cooper is trendy at best. From their SS21 collection, you can join Team HC wear- ing their gilet, polo shirt and coach jacket or dress in their se- lection of joggers, hoodies, flared and biker jeans, halter vests and t-shirts. The Team HC Gilet in Black and Ink Navy is de- signed with practicality and style in mind. It is made from an eco-sorona filled padding; insulating and breathable and the perfect piece to wear whilst horse riding or out casually. The tailored and slim fit Team Polo Shirt in White is cut from a breathable cotton fabric with a slight stretch for comfort. With rib knit cuffs and a vented hem, this shirt is detailed with HC embroidery on the back, arm and chest with high- build embellishment. Be the leader with the Coach Jacket in Black and Ice Pink: a lightweight yet insulating sporty gar- ment designed for transitional weather. It has a super-stretchy quilted body that allows for maximum movement and com- fort whilst riding. Also symbolising this great brand are the Crested Zip and Sporting Crest Hoodies. The former, in Ink Navy, is made from super soft cotton fabric and beautifully designed with sleeve details, high build embroidery and an adjustable front zipper. In Grey Marl or Ink Navy, the latter is crafted in a comfortable cotton blend with an adjustable drawstring hood. This sports hoodie is finished with Holland Cooper’s signature embossed gold hardware, high build embroidery to the hood and a mix of luxurious graphics. Great British Excellence
