A new collaboration between Laura Burlington - Countess of Burlington the daughter-in-law of the current Duke and Duchess of Devonshire - and the Anglo-American “chic country store” Cutter Brooks by Amanda Brooks arrived this month, with a delightful roster of ivy-adorned homeware items.
Available in either ‘Ivy Green’ or ‘Ivy Blue’, the line includes a tablecloth, quilted cushion covers, pyjamas and a wonderfully tactile quilted placemat, along with other pieces for your house. Amanda Brooks describes her store as a curated selection of things for your “closet, your home, and your hostess,” and her collaboration with iconic house and brand Chatsworth is reflective of this ambition.
“When I saw the historic fabric collection I immediately thought of Amanda, who is so creative and good at working with pattern," explains Laura. "I invited her to come and view the archive to see if she wanted to work with a fabric from it. We both instinctively loved the ivy print.” And so the collaboration was born.
Amanda explains that the print's beauty and “fascinating provenance” are still relevant today, appealing not only to her existing customers, but to a “broader international audience.” And so they “set out to create a collection that would honour the timeless style of Chatsworth and also sit well in many homes, both traditional and modern.”
This is reflective of Amanda's entire ethos and identity, which is largely born out of her experience as a fashion consultant and writer in New York City, and the more idyllic countryside life she then switched to in the Cotswolds. This collaboration, like her brand, contains multitudes.
This partnership is the latest in a line of creative collaborations for Chatsworth, including a summer exhibition celebrating Erdem's SS24 collection.
The Ivy Print Collection is available online and in-store at Cutter Brooks and Chatsworth and features at L'Epicuriste in Bridgehampton New York throughout the summer.
