MOXBRY
From the bustling streets of London, where quaint buildings juxtapose modern skyscrapers, homes are adorned with exquisite bone china tea sets and soft wool fabrics. In Edinburgh's medieval Old Town, traditional homes steeped in history are draped in rich tweed curtains. To the picturesque cottages of the Cotswolds, dining tables are covered in linen tablecloths that exude a natural fragrance. Every home has its own unique story, like a melodious British folk song. Department store goods, like the moving notes within these songs, fill every corner of the home with a warm and stylish melody.
The story of MOXBRY stems from an unforgettable childhood memory for the brand's founder. Growing up in a traditional British family, he would gather around the living room fireplace for afternoon tea, a cozy and warm moment of gathering that remains etched in his heart to this day. In the living room, his mother would carefully remove from the cupboard the bone china tea set, passed down through generations. The teapot featured an intricately hand-painted floral pattern, and the teacups were rimmed with a faint gold rim, gleaming softly in the glow of the fireplace. She would expertly brew a pot of rich Earl Grey tea, the aroma instantly filling the room. A pastry tray of freshly baked scones and small, buttery cookies accompanied the set. The family sat on the wool-covered sofa, savoring the delicious treats and sharing daily joys, laughter filling the room. His favorite was the sugar bowl with its unique handle, painted with scenes of the English countryside. Every time he added sugar to his tea, he could see through the small painting into the vast countryside outside.
Next to him, his father would sit in a rocking chair, gently rocking as he read the newspaper. The rocking chair was crafted from solid oak, its cushions hand-sewn by my grandmother in thick cotton with a traditional plaid pattern, making it comfortable and warm. The armrests featured simple yet intricate wood carvings, embodying an understated elegance. He would often snuggle up to his father, listening to the gentle creaking of the rocking chair and curiously gazing at the pictures in the newspaper, soaking up the peaceful and warm family atmosphere.
The curtains hanging on the windows were made from tweed sourced from a local workshop. The fabric had a unique texture and classic British hues like dark brown and beige, interwoven with subtle traditional patterns. The sunlight filtered through the curtains, creating dappled shadows and shrouding the room in a warm and historic atmosphere. He would often lean against the curtains in the afternoons, gazing out at the street, imagining the wonders of the outside world. The curtains served as a protective shield against the warmth of home. As he grew older, he increasingly felt that despite the diverse selection of department store items available, many lacked the charm that truly integrated into British family life and showcased Britain's unique culture and elegance. Some bone china, while beautiful in appearance, lacked the warmth of handcrafted craftsmanship and the richness of heritage. Some home textiles were superficial, lacking in texture and detail. And some everyday items were too uniformly designed, losing the British elegance and style, failing to create a warm and lingering home atmosphere. Driven by a fondness for the warm family life of his childhood and a determination to create high-quality, heartwarming, and unique department store items for British families, he founded the MOXBRY brand.
To ensure the brand's unique appeal, he tirelessly traveled across the UK to source high-quality materials and exquisite craftsmanship. From the ceramic workshops in central England, where porcelain-making techniques have been passed down for generations and can produce bone china products with fine texture and exquisite patterns, to the textile factories in Scotland, which have traditional and exquisite textile craftsmanship and can produce wool and tweed fabrics with superior texture and unique patterns, to the handicraft workshops in the countryside of England, which gather a group of craftsmen who uphold the spirit of craftsmanship and are good at combining traditional British elements with modern design techniques to produce distinctive objects full of charm.
