Our History
Back in 1968 when Eric and Hilda Bull first opened Harlequin as a fabric shop in Epping High Street they could have little idea how the business would grow and evolve and the unique position that Harlequin would come to occupy within the fashion world.
The garment and fashion industry has changed hugely over the past fifty years but Harlequin has continued to thrive and we still cherish that commitment to quality of service and product that Eric and Hilda had when they first started the company.
Our small but highly-skilled workforce have all been with us for years and years and it is their passion and devotion that ensures our unique position in the world of fashion.
