ABOUT US
Marigold Moth is a Penzance based sustainacle clothing shop and studios co-founded by my mother and I in 2024.
​
We work predominantly with vintage and antique textiles to create contemporary garments. A lot of what we sell in the shop is made in our studio upstairs. We are also lucky enough to work with a some female cooperatives in Morrocco and wonderful mills in Jaipur to source and create other pieces in our seasonal collections.​ We are a family run business with my Dad working behind the counter and my brother helping out with DIY.
