Persephone Clothes

Persephone Books now stocks a very Limited Edition of Persephone Clothes:

The pinny £30



The apron £20

The jacket £65

The dressing gown (which comes in a matching cotton bag) £40

The scarf £10

Everything except the jacket can be sent by mail order for £3 extra (the jacket can only be bought in the shop because we feel it needs to be tried on).

The apron, pinny and dressing-gown come in one size only; the jacket comes in small, medium and large. All are made of Indian cotton.

As well as jackets, aprons, pinnies and dressing-gowns, we now have scarves (£10 each) and fabric.

The fabric for the Persephone Clothes is an Indian chintz that is also used on the endpaper for The Far Cry by Emma Smith (Persephone Book No 33); it is £15 a metre.

We also now sell three fabrics supplied by Borderline Fabrics: a fritillary that is used on the endpaper from Gardener's Nightcap by Muriel Stuart (Persephone Book no. 66); a variation on the star pattern from The Hopkins Manuscript by RC Sherriff (Persephone Book No 57) ; and Black Goose from Farewell Leicester Square by Betty Miller (Persephone Book No 14); these are £40 a metre.

To order, please contact us by post, telephone or email (the clothes cannot yet be ordered via the website).
