HOLMES BESPOKE x MAISON MARGAUX
Luxurious comfort meets fine dining
As two British luxury brands, ourselves and homeware specialists Maison Margaux were delighted to unveil our first collaboration.
A capsule collection of luxurious handcrafted rugs and beautifully detailed table linen.
Our founder Laylah Holmes and Louisa Preskett Mobbs, co-founder of Maison Margaux, met after being announced as ‘Walpole’s Brands of Tomorrow Class of 2023’. It was a unique connection that led to discovering a shared ethos for sustainable design, a mutual fascination with the alchemy of colour and a passion for original craftsmanship. Keen to draw on this natural synergy, we decided to celebrate our individual crafts and combine these two elements together, in a harmonious collection that can be mixed and matched to create a unique and wonderfully welcoming tablescape that flows from the table to the floor.
The collection comprises three rugs and table linen sets, inspired by the colours of summer - golden sunrises, fresh foliage, and clear blue skies - the rugs, napkins, and placemats heralds the return of the dining room, seamlessly bringing the outdoors in. The collection also features two of our best loved rug designs, Rachael and Ikat, which have been reimagined for the collaboration.
The Joy of Tablescaping
We had such an amazing turn out for our tablescaping event!
Our stand was buzzing with excitement as people joined Laylah and Louisa in conversation with Noni Ware, Executive Editor at House & Garden to discuss the world of luxury design and the art of tablescaping.
We hope those who joined us, enjoyed our sharing of the dos and don'ts of tablescaping and go on to enjoy some fantastic dinner parties with the Holmes Bespoke X Maison Margaux collection creating the perfect setting.

A little bit about us…
How we work
We work collaboratively with interior designers and project leaders to create truly unique design solutions; offering a bespoke design service, a vast range of fully customisable rugs, runners, fitted carpets, wall hanging tapestries and home accessories along with a vast range of ‘ready to order’ collections.
About us
Led by Laylah Holmes, from her West London HQ, Holmes Bespoke is committed to building long lasting relationships, fostering a creative and enjoyable design experience whilst delivering exceptional quality every time.
Designed in house, we draws on the knowledge and expertise of our skilled artisans, whose centuries-old techniques ensure that each design is entirely one of a kind, crafted by hand to last a lifetime.
The Bespoke Design Process
We ensure a perfect shade match to ensure the chosen colours fit perfectly with your scheme, we help to determine the shape and size that best suits the space and work with you to select from an array of premium fibres, textures and techniques.
Our design team will draw artwork of your rug, allowing you to envisage how it will look within the space, we will then work with you to choose an area to sample and our skilled artisans will knot, weave or loop a bespoke sample so that you & your client can feel the quality and texture of the final piece.
Sampling can take up to 4 to 6 weeks, our samples are one-of-a-kind and they are made by hand using the same precision and skill as the final rug.
Artwork and samples are presented to you for sign off and it is then that the production of your bespoke rug or carpet can begin.
The production of your piece can take anything from 8 weeks to 14 weeks, however we usually deliver at around week 12. Each rug is entirely hand made from the dying of the yarn, the weaving, knotting or tufting through to the final finishing, carving or shearing.
We endeavour to use sustainable materials and ensure that our rugs are made from completely natural fibres, including wool, bamboo, jute, cotton, linen and hemp.
