what is the-glasshouse?

A collection of clothing and accessories exclusively designed under the-glasshouse label, with the addition of several capsule collections from like-minded international designers and labels.

The Glasshouse History

In 1998 the first Glasshouse shop was opened in Windsor.

It was the first independent retail store to promote a layered or 'lagenlook' (as it's known in Europe) for women from size 12 and upwards!! In the first year of trading The Glasshouse won the 'rag trade's' most prestigious accolade of 'Best New Store' and in subsequent years the 8 stores became runners up in the Womenswear and Customer service categories.

The Glasshouse label remains true to the distinct style but has moved forward with the concept giving a new twist in an individual, contemporary, up-to-date style. Showcasing our signature mix of contempory designs.

The Glasshouse has also moved forward with its concept of selling and is now available only on-line and in selective retail environments. This provides us with refreshing and flexible approaches to engage and communicate with our customers.

Our dressing code of conduct is: Individual clothes that flatter different body shapes - large or small, tall or short using proportion and layering. Dress size should be a guide used in combination with proportion. Glasshouse styles use conventional sizing as a guide. 

what is the concept?

Eclectic, unexpected, individual, quirky, arty, offbeat, funky, lagenlook, unconventional unpredictable, distinctive, eccentric, often layered, intuitive...being true to ourselves, shapes and believes.

The Glasshouse Collection

Today most clothing is mass produced on a huge scale.  Our High Street shops and Brands are the same all over the Country, where ever you go, any town or city people are buying from the same shops and wearing the same clothes in their hundreds and thousands.The Glasshouse styling expresses individuality rather than following the crowd…and getting lost in the crowd!

The Glasshouse label is only produced in small quantities. Many pieces are hand finished, hand knitted or hand painted - totally individual. Some pieces are commissioned and bespoke, others limited editions. They are unique investment pieces in every sense of the word. Along side our own label we offer other like-minded small brands that can be used to build our dressing style, complete with accessories.

why the Glasshouse?

For those who share the 'Glasshouse' believe:
to express individuality season after season regardless of size or age,whilst delivering the highest levels of design, quality and customer service.

We hope you'll enjoying shopping with us and sharing our vision.
