Hannah Weiland: ‘I like to do things slowly. It gives a home personality’
The fashion designer’s mews home is a colourful blend of old favourites and new styles
It’s a mist-wreathed December morning and Hannah Weiland is in her element. “I love winter because it gives me the chance to wear a coat or jacket all the time,” says the fashion designer whose label, Shrimps, is best known for its painterly, faux-fur outerwear. “Even at sweltering parties I’ll be the one in a coat,” she laughs as she greets me at her front door cocooned in one of her latest, guilt-free designs. It’s a glossy black jacket adorned with a jacquard-woven daffodil motif which, she tells me, was inspired by springtime in her parents’ garden.
Nature is a constant source of ideas for Weiland, 28, whose childhood was split between houses in London and the country. One of four children, she recalls a “fondly indulged” upbringing of “flowers, guinea pigs, ducklings and dogs. I love animals which is why I could never wear real fur.” There is a rural feel to the west London home she shares with her husband, Arthur Guinness (a descendant of the brewing dynasty) and Lionel McGruff, the miniature poodle. It is a mews house – the ground floor used to be a stable. Apart from taking down a wall, Weiland has kept the decoration simple. Tongue-and-groove panelling, a butler’s sink and a log-burning stove add to the rus in urbe atmosphere.

‘The builders thought we were mad’: a Victorian terrace revamped
How two young designers, inspired by their travels, transformed a neglected house
When Magnus Pettersen and Ella Jones visited Japan in September 2017, they were obsessed with the sliding paper walls and wooden partitions they saw everywhere, from Tokyo to Kyoto.
