A Bright Future …
In a world seemingly ruled by globalisation , mass production and outsourcing , there is a steady stream of consumers seeking out an authentic product . As a mill hidden in the valleys of Wales , Melin Tregwynt has stayed close to its roots without limiting its opportunity and is prospering due to its drive to champion modern design .
Today its unique range of blankets , throws and cushions can be found in hip hotels and design led stores , on film and in TV advertisements . Its products have even made an appearance on the iconic television programme Dr . Who .
Alongside their own stock ranges , the company specialises in customisation , short runs and exclusive designs for hotels , designers and specifiers . It has worked with companies as diverse as John Lewis , Heals , Muji , Established , SCP , Designers Guild , Margaret Howell , Comme des Garcons & Mulberry , all of which have commissioned exclusive ranges .
The company is continuously developing new product and has launched a small collection of upholstery all made in its own distinctive designs . The team at Melin Tregwynt also work closely with international companies like Birkenstock in Germany , Ameribag in the US and Ideaport in Japan to create collaborative products available by direct mail and in selected stores .
Through design innovation , this small , family-owned mill has gained a worldwide reputation for stylish and eye-catching designs as modern as they come , whilst never losing touch with the craft and cultural heritage of Wales . �
