Block Check
Bold in character yet considered in design, the Joshua Ellis Block Check Collection brings a contemporary expression to one of the most enduring traditions in British textile design.
Defined by confident blocks of colour and carefully balanced proportions, each check is designed to make an impression without becoming overstated. Rich, complementary tones create depth and movement, giving every piece a distinctive character while retaining the timeless sophistication of Joshua Ellis.
Woven in Yorkshire from exceptional natural fibres, the collection reflects more than 260 years of expertise. Carefully selected yarns, precise weaving and considered finishing come together to create the exceptional softness, warmth and handle for which Joshua Ellis is known. Every detail, from the balance of colour to the quality of the weave, is considered to ensure the finished piece feels as exceptional as it looks.
The versatility of the Block Check makes it equally at home with contemporary and classic dressing. Draped over tailoring, wrapped around a winter coat or paired with relaxed weekend layers, each design brings colour, texture and character without overwhelming what you wear.
Lightweight
Lightness can be luxurious too. Our lightweight collection brings the softness and refinement of Joshua Ellis to lighter, more fluid pieces, created for effortless wear through spring, summer and the changing seasons.
Inspired by the timeless elegance of the traditional shawl and pashmina, the collection brings together exceptional natural fibres including cashmere, Merino wool, Escorial wool and refined blends of cashmere, wool, silk and linen. Each is selected for its softness, handle and ability to create a beautifully light layer without compromising on comfort or character.
Designed to move effortlessly between occasions, these pieces work beautifully with relaxed spring dressing, tailored summer looks or as an elegant layer on cooler evenings. They can also be worn as a lighter alternative to a heavier scarf, tucked comfortably beneath a coat or jacket when the temperature drops.
Generously sized and beautifully soft, selected pieces feature delicate eyelash fringing and a considered palette of colours. Wear them loosely knotted at the neck, draped over the shoulders, wrapped around the body or styled as a headscarf. Lightweight and versatile, they also make an effortless travel companion.
