For By Walid, it all started with a jacket made from 18th-century hemp linen sourced from a market, which garnered the attention of design-lovers everywhere. To British-Iraqi founder Walid al Damirji, this moment proved that he wasn’t the only one obsessed with forlorn and forgotten fabrics – and so his eponymous collections were born in 2011. Every piece stays true to his zero-waste philosophy via the restoration and remounting of antique textiles, from 19th-century French tapestries to 17th-century Florentine silks. The one-of-a-kind results, suited to every room in the home, are bursting with unique character and charm that speak to the individual history of each reworked thread.

By Walid

Transforming 18th century quilts and vintage treasures into wearable art and homewares, By Walid was founded by British-Iraqi designer, Walid Damirji. The zero-waste label repurposes all manner of vintage fabrics including Rococo silks and pastoral embroideries to dream up one-of-a-kind pieces that create big impact at home, but little-to-none on the planet – a win win.
