The Fruit Moth

About

Luxury clothing and accessories in Liberty Tana Lawn cotton, made with love in Manchester, England.

Established in 2020, The Fruit Moth is the brainchild of Nicole Broad. Having bought a sewing machine in lockdown and sitting on a pile of beautiful vintage linens collected in charity shops, Nicole started designing and making accessories in her spare bedroom. Fast forward to now, The Fruit Moth has a store inside Manchester Craft & Design Centre in the heart of the Northern Quarter, has collaborated with Uniqlo to support their sustainability pledge and has won awards within the Manchester business community.

Having just secured approval from Liberty London, The Fruit Moth creations are luxury pieces designed to be enjoyed and loved for a lifetime. Using only French seams and the highest quality luxurious natural fabrics, they are as comfortable as they are beautiful to wear.

My aim for The Fruit Moth was always to turn the fast fashion model on its head, and create clothing that is anything but disposable. My designs are timeless creations to be treasured for a lifetime, the one piece you never get bored of wearing. We will never be trend led, we will always work sustainably and we will always strive to create the clothing and accessories that as as unique as you are.

Love,
