FARFIELD ORIGINAL: Born in the Tranquil English Countryside
"Let's start with the brand's roots. FARFIELD ORIGINAL was first established in 1985 as 'Farfield Clothing.' It was founded on the site of the former Farfield Mill, a textile factory located within England's Yorkshire Dales National Park.The founder, Jean Mary Pearson, had built up extensive experience in the UK apparel industry, gaining deep knowledge of garment production and textile design. She launched the brand with a vision to create clothing that balanced the 'harsh yet beautiful nature of northern England' with 'everyday practicality.'"
