Martha Coomber – the face behind Martha Rose – Studied art, textiles and photography before embarking on a career as a freelance underwear & print designer, selling designs to large companies all over the world.
Martha Rose, is fresh, pared back underwear focusing on enhancing the natural shape with cut and stitch, influenced by a love of the quality and detailing of vintage lingerie but with a modern approach.
For the second season, nightwear was added to the Martha Rose lingerie collection. Using beautiful, predominately cotton shirtings, the core collection is given a new twist with the addition of lace, a white on white story and in house designed print.
Inspired by an attitude not age.
The Journey Continues..
2024
Following the closure of the wonderful factory in Wales that I was working with, and then COVID, Martha Rose development was on hold. After much thought I decided to move forward with nightwear, working with a small factory in India and using hand woven cloth.
This is a beginning of a new journey with lots of exciting things to come…..
