Briers teams up with British designers 

 

Gardening gloves and footwear supplier, Briers, has teamed up with the British designers, Wayne and Gerardine Hemingway and their HemingwayDesign team to create four new ranges of gardening wellies, gloves and rainmacs. Designed by the Red or Dead founders exclusively for Briers, the ranges fulfil Briers’ commitment to make fashionable clothing and accessories a genuine option for stylish consumers. All four collections, along with other new Briers products, will be launched at this year’s Glee exhibition in September. The HemingwayDesign product ranges include: Pop Splash, inspired by the pop art movement that emerged in the UK and the US in the 1950s; Grid, inspired by the table tops in 1950s caffs and early lino floors; Tulips, a collection inspired by the wide variety of colours seen in tulips, from mustard and grey to blue and green; and Typo, giving some of the HemingwayDesign team’s favourite fonts an airing in the form of words about wellies. Briers believe there has long been a gap in the market for design-led ladies gardening gloves, footwear and accessories. As well as providing high levels of protection against hazards in the garden, excellent functionality and durability, quality products can also be colourful, stylish and contemporary.
