Rachel and Alice, the creative team behind Cable and Blake, love all things Cumbrian. From the characteristic fells and crags to the world-famous mountains and lakes. Both women find their local landscape inspirational and enriching. Rachel and Alice have a particular interest in the iconic breed of Herdwick sheep that share this wild space.

Rachel's upholstery business opened when her children started school, this inspired plans for a locally sourced and woven fabric - something unique that could represent the landscape, beauty and lifestyle of Cumbria.

Together they have made this a reality with their own captivating collection of fabrics. In 2019, we sadly lost Alice to cancer. The business now thrives on in her name, and Cable & Blake hope they are continually making her proud. Cable and Blake have been accredited by British Wool, who have been tracing our wool from Crag to Cloth and their wool is now 100% British.
