A fresh take on the classic evening bag, with an embroidered crossbody strap, tasselled drawstring and pouch design showcasing the story’s ornate stitchwork on crepe back satin. The Alessia bag can be worn with the co-ordinating dresses and kimono or alone as a stand-out finishing touch.
Offbeat yet regal, the Alessia story offers a stunning range of eveningwear pieces. Strong, timeless silhouettes provide a base for hand-guided sequin and stitchwork: Tudor rosebuds interweave harmoniously with calligraphic flourishes and Italian fresco-inspired filigree motifs, with elements reminiscent of Jacobean blackwork, reimagined in bold contrasting shades.
Fusing inspiration across the ages, the embroidery is brought to life by hand, ensuring the distinct stitchwork is perfectly finished.

Process
Temperley prints are painstakingly hand-painted in-house. Motifs are collaged onto the body then lovingly engineered into compositions that work in harmony with the garment’s panelling, ensuring the printed fabric flows flawlessly across seam joints when the garment is constructed. The process is both meticulous and spontaneous, with an outcome that is truly unique and artisanal.
Materials
Committed to creating unique and original textiles, the Temperley team designs lace and woven fabrics in-house at our atelier, which are then crafted by our trusted partners at expert mills across the globe. We utilise best quality Italian tulle, soft and sheer, perfectly structured with a flawless drape. Another staple material includes luxurious silk, woven to create a lustrous effect, with a smooth and radiant finish, perfect for eveningwear.
Our Atelier
Imagined by our team at the creative hub and beating heart of the brand, our atelier in Somerset — infusing a bohemian spirit, intrinsically woven into the pieces, the exquisite craftsmanship, blending modern techniques with artisanal mastery.
Responsibility
With an ardent commitment to slow fashion, we at Temperley are always consciously looking forward, for ways to be better, considering every step in the process. We create garments that should last a lifetime and encourage caring for these creations so they can be handed on. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, with a story to tell and memories to be made.
