Frome, Somerset

Hi everyone, I’m Pip and I own and run Rural Collection from our base in rural Somerset. I love the great British countryside and our busy family life here. I grew up in Dorset and spent many years working in rural and equestrian businesses before meeting my husband, moving to Somerset and starting a family. In juggling work, a home refurbishment and a growing family the seeds of the idea for starting my own business were sown.

Fast forward a year or so and with the support of a small family team, my business, Rural Collection has become a reality. While creating our home and planning the business I have discovered some incredible accessories, beautiful tweed, leather, and wool products and eco-friendly homeware and I want to share the country life and style that I love with you, our wonderful customers.

Rural Collection, bringing rural style to you and your home.

The Somerset-based brand has quality over quantity at its core; with all its products handmade in England, the business is focused on creating clothes and accessories that are built to last as well as super stylish.

From beautiful bespoke 100% British belts to snuggly sweatshirts, Touch of Tweed combines both luxury and longevity with items that are bound to catch the eye this year and beyond.       

Inspired by their country and coastal heritage, partners Catherine Orpin and James U’Dell, wrote their own love-story and set up their business together to create timeless, elegant products that are truly unique and made to last while being eco-friendly.
