About Us
Out of the Ordinary
EdNerat designs and makes coats, by hand, to create sculptural shapes, flowing forms and simple silhouettes.
Our coats are quiet; their shapes considered, their luxury restrained and their finish impeccable. Not ostentatious, but quite simply exceptional. They are cut to fit and to flatter the female form and are designed to be worn with insouciance – comfortably and happily.
In keeping with the hard work that has gone into them and the wide-ranging ambitions we have for them, our coats are named after female British artists.
True Rarity
Our coats are made from the finest British fabrics. With the exception of our light silks, which are sourced and cut here – but not made here – all our textiles are woven in the United Kingdom – in Cumbria, Yorkshire, Somerset, Suffolk and beyond.
We source our fabrics direct from makers in short lengths – many of which are often woven just for us. We also occasionally buy up exquisite deadstock and ravishing roll-ends from British makers and designers.
This way of working maximises choice and exclusivity for our wearers and enables us to make our coats out of an ever-changing array of textiles – supple tweeds and flannels, sumptuous silks, beautiful bouclés and bewitching brocades.
Close Collaborations
In crafting our coats, we are privileged to work with the very finest of British makers – highly skilled tailors, patternmakers, cutters, weavers, embroiderers, seamsters and finishers.
By sourcing and making in the British Isles, we are able to collaborate closely with our suppliers and makers at every stage of production, from design and development through to fabrication.
As a result we can ensure that the quality of the materials and craftsmanship never falters, and that our coats are produced without any hidden costs, whether environmental or ethical.
Re-Uses
As all makers do, we end up with short ends and scraps. The longer pieces we save for our mens' waistcoats at Weskit, the smaller pieces are made into the most beautiful padded coat-hangers for us by Anne in Risca.
We ship and print on recycled and recyclable card, cardboard and paper. Where we can, we re-use things, where we can't we compost them. Any customers wanting to return their packaging to us is welcome to; we will pay for the postage and re-use their boxes for storage, their ribbons for tying up samples, swatches and patterns and their tissue for our boots and bags!
The Work of Many
EdNerat is a family-owned business, based in Wales.
EdNerat was born from a single pair of hands fresh with the sense of touch, itching for practical purpose. It grew out of a yearning for singular, well-made coats and was nourished by many skilled hands and expert eyes; by careful craftsmanship, considered cutting, and delicate detailing.
EdNerat is made possible by true craftspeople in the British Isles.
