Designing the fabric
The beautiful pieces in this collection have been brought to life by Emma Mawston’s stunning fabric, designed exclusively for the RNLI. Former Head of Design at Liberty, Emma drew her inspiration from the RNLI’s rich history and has included symbols that represent the amazing work of our charity. For example, the yellow rose represents the friendship and joy found in RNLI communities. And the star boat badge symbolises a beacon of hope, which the RNLI is to everyone they rescue.

About Will Bees Bespoke

Their shop is just a short walk away from Salcombe Lifeboat Station, so the RNLI means a lot to the team at Will Bees Bespoke. The co-owner of the company, James Marshall, is a volunteer crew member.
