Joseph Hutton quit his merchandising job on a Thursday in March 2018 with no plan beyond 'I want to make things.' The first week he produced two tote bags, one of which had a handle sewn on backwards. He sold the good…
Read moreThe autumn collection is live now. Small batches, natural fabrics, real pockets. Have a look before they go.
Every Cedar Butterfly collection starts with a colour question rather than a trend board. For autumn 2026, the question was: what colours feel right for October in Somerset? The answer, after a lot of test swatches and one genuinely difficult dye process, was ochre, deep sage, and rust.

Has a few quirks that standard care labels do not always cover. Getting it wrong does not ruin a garment overnight, but it does shorten its life and dull the colour faster than it needs to.

Joseph Hutton spent eight years working as a visual merchandiser for a mid-size department store chain before he quietly quit, bought a secondhand sewing machine, and set up a folding table in his spare bedroom. He had no formal training in textiles. Just a stubborn habit of pulling apart thrift-store garments to see how they were put together. Cedar Butterfly grew out of that bedroom in 2018, one lopsided tote bag at a time. These days Joseph obsesses over natural dyes, linen weights, and the exact angle of a pocket seam. He keeps a notebook of every mistake he has made so he can make different ones next time.
