We now make everything our own workshop here in York UK. The designs are created by Gary Newbold, the founder of English Utopia and all patterns are made by him. Most of the fabric cutting is done by Gary and his assistant and the products are assembled by a team of highly trained seamstresses and tailors. The company pays a higher than industry standard rate of pay to its skilled craftspeople and makes no gender distinction on salary. Tailors skilled machinists both proud to be making in England
