About

Passionate about print husband and wife duo Alice Begg and Robbie Humphries design boldly printed clothing for the everyday. Creating items they love to wear themselves. The shapes are loose and comfortable, statement but relaxed. Alice designs all the prints in a playful naive style. These are then screen printed onto 100% natural fabrics by a small team in Jaipur, India. The method means there are always minor imperfections giving the clothes a unique hand crafted, organic feel.

  

  

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Humphries & Begg was launched in 2010 by wife and husband duo Alice Begg and Robbie Humphries just three months after they met. Their names together, Humphries and Begg, had a certain ring to it, like it had been around forever. That was the easy bit.

Alice studied fashion at Middlesex University, London, after doing an art foundation course at Falmouth, Cornwall. At the time of the pair meeting she was working for fabric shop, The Cloth Shop on Portobello road whilst getting her own creative practice off the ground. Robbie is first and foremost a musician and never imagined his name would be on a fashion label. You can find him as one half of The Cash Cows and his new band The Many Coated.

Alice & Robbie met at the Secret Garden Party festival, Alice was decorating the stage that Robbie played on. It was, as they say, love at first sight! They travelled to India three months later, returning with bags full of fabrics and patterns and Humphries & Begg was born!

The first collection featured made-to-measure suits and Indian block printed men’s shirts with their first bit of press coming the following year with a shirt featured in The Times newspaper supplement, sealing them a loyal list customer base. For the next 6 years Humphries & Begg remained very much a side project whilst Alice worked on other creative projects & Robbie concentrated on his music. Then at the end of 2016 Alice decided it was time to put all her energy into Humphries & Begg, and that summer it was brilliantly received on the festival circuit. 

Now 8 years and two children later, Alice & Robbie have left London for the green, rolling hills of Stroud, Gloucestershire, where they now have a dedicated Humphries & Begg studio and shop, and the rest, as they say, is history!
