Hand & Lock has been a key player in creating military embroidery for some of Britain’s most esteemed traditions, from royal weddings to the Diamond Jubilee and King Charles III's Coronation.

Since 1767, we have been repeatedly commissioned to deliver the exquisite beauty and attention to detail essential for the grandest military occasions. Our long history of traditional techniques ensures we are exceptionally equipped to produce embroidery that meets the highest standards for the most significant events.

In addition to design and construction, we offer restoration services for military organisations, individuals, and collectors. Restoring delicate military embroidery requires great sensitivity and skill, and our embroidery team possesses the right tools, materials, and expertise to restore ecclesiastical banners, altar fronts, and military uniforms with care. As a recognised authority in this unique field, Hand & Lock can be trusted to maintain the value and aesthetic integrity of each piece during the restoration process.

Product Development for L'Heritage

L'Heritage jewellery boxes! We loved creating these custom travel jewellery boxes for high jewellery brand L'Heritage! Using our signature H&L travel jewellery boxes as a base, we worked closely with Lauren from L'heritage to customise the boxes to her exact specifications. We altered the internal compartments to a new composition, giving more space for a larger embroidery design on the bottom lining. We added extra embroidered details to the inside lid lining for a high end finish and of course each box is topped with a stunning fully embroidered lid.

The finishing touch is the custom L'Heritage branded plates fitted to the outside of the box.The travel jewellery boxes are made with a soft suedette lining and plush velvet exterior, machine embroidered with beautiful designs created by H&L. The designs are embroidered in sulky viscose rayon and polyneon threads, highlighted with shimmering metallic detailing. So how does it work if you want to develop an embroidered product with us?In this instance L'Heritage came to us with an idea, inspired by our own travel jewellery boxes and wanting to create their own custom designs. H&L handled the rest including the design, the production, sampling and quality control.
