Launched at the start of 2016 in the village of Delph, Saddleworth, Bailey Laine is a home furnishings and apparel brand which manufactures in the UK using high quality wool. Founder Katie Mallalieu takes Victoria Noakes through the history of the business, its offering and its philosophy.

Having worked as a higher level teaching assistant for 11 years, and become frustrated with increasing government demands and the amount of time spent completing paperwork rather than teaching, Katie Mallalieu made the decision to quit the profession to join her family’s woollen textile manufacturing business, Mallalieus of Delph, in 2015. 

With its factory based in Lancashire, handcrafted furniture manufacturer Tetrad uses some of the finest materials to create striking upholstery pieces.

All Tetrad sofas, chairs and stools are made to a high standard with hardwood frames which are built to last, coupled with a variety of suspension options and covered in high quality fabric or hide.
