Summer 2026 Update

As a summer of sunshine and heatwaves continues across the UK, it has also been a season full of activity and opportunity.  Across the tailoring and garment industries new collections are taking shape and preparations are already underway for the months ahead.

At B&B we’ve been focusing on expanding some of our key product ranges whilst staying connected with customers and colleagues.  We’re pleased to share a few recent developments, along with a look at what’s coming soon.

Product Spotlight

New Buttonhole Gimp Colours

We’ve added several new colours to our Buttonhole Gimp range.  These new shades offer greater flexibility when creating beautifully finished hand-made buttonholes.  Whether you’re matching traditional tailoring fabrics or looking for something more distinctive, the expanded collection provides you with more options for achieving the perfect finish. 

Twelve shades are now available to view and purchase on our website.

A Day at the Cricket
Earlier this summer, the B&B team enjoyed an outing to the T20 cricket in Chelmsford.  It was a fantastic opportunity for colleagues from across the business to spend time together away from the office, enjoy the atmosphere  and celebrate another busy year.

This August, our Director, Anna Bernstein attended the Chicago Collective – one of North America’s leading menswear trade events – at the impressive Merchandise Mart building.

The show brought together retailers, brands and industry professionals from across the market, providing an excellent opportunity to explore emerging trends, strengthen existing relationships and meet new contacts.  We always value opportunities to engage with the wider tailoring and menswear community and we look forward to building on the connections made during the event.
