Tori Murphy founded her eponymous brand in 2012 with the simple aim to create products for the home with character and integrity, all woven and made in England.
After graduating from the prestigious Royal Collection of Art, Tori worked in Milan designing prints for clients including DKNY, Fendi, and Christian Dior and it's here she experienced the factory floor for the first time and developed a sound understanding and love of textile production.
After this rewarding experience, Tori returned home and combined her passions into one and focused on English textile manufacturing. With a firm belief and plenty of perseverance she succeeded in finding weavers in Lancashire, finishers in Yorkshire and machinists in Nottingham willing to support her.
From her first fabric run of 12 metres of woven Merino wool, Tori made a capsule collection of throws and cushions which she exhibited in London in June 2012 and it was here she took her first order from a store on London's New King's Road, signalling the launch of Tori Murphy Ltd.
Tori and her team operate from a small factory in Nottingham, the product range has grown to 15 categories, and her website cum shop - torimurphy.com was launched in 2013.
