The Mill Collection

Each piece of handcrafted fashion in The Mill Collection is created with fabric with a bit of history…
Just a short drive across the Savannah River in South Carolina is a little spot called Horse Creek Valley, more commonly known today as Midland Valley. Horse Creek enters the Savannah River two miles downstream of downtown Augusta, Georgia. The water power provided by Horse Creek led to the creation of numerous textiles mills in the area. The textile industries suffered the effects of the boll weevil (1920) and the Great Depression (1930) and never fully recovered. The last textile mill closed its doors in 2006.
All of this vintage fabric was hiding in storage and I was ecstatic to get a hold of it. It has been carefully inspected, treated/soaked, washed and dried for freshness and softness.
