About us
Our Story
Coming from a small Lancashire town known for its textile mills, it was natural for our co - founder Emma to discover a love for fabrics. Emma studied textiles and design at school followed by university. Emma has been designing, sewing and creating patterns for over 20 years. Her career has always been based on Bespoke tailoring specialising in women's wear. It was from this love for fashion and creating clothes Prodigal Fox was started.
Growing up in Sheffield our co- founder Jackie Woolhouse has always shared a love for high end fashion and runway styles. With a back ground in fitness and well being, Jackie wanted to combine her love for clothes in her career. She started to help friends with personal fitness and styling, this has developed to over 20 years experience with styling and dressing to suit your shape. Other peoples well being has always been important to Jackie and is a big part of our Ethos at Prodigal Fox.
Prodigal Fox started in 2016 as an online clothing brand. We then went live on the Silkfred Platform more than 2 years ago, where our styles remain popular. Prodigal Fox is continuing to grow and we are very happy to announce we opened our first store in early 2019. Later this year we aim to be on stock-lists throughout the UK in independent stores.
