HERBERT PARKINSON LIMITED

Herbert Parkinson are the main supplier of soft furnishing products. Mr Herbert Parkinson established the business at Orchard Mill in Darwen in 1934 to weave jacquard cloth. On his death, the business was passed to his daughter who sold it to the John Lewis Partnership in 1953. The Partnership was looking for a weaving mill to produce its own range... of bespoke furnishing fabrics and increase its competitiveness. The business was later transferred to the current site at Harvest Mill, Monton Road, Darwen. As the business expanded, fabric woven at the mill was also made into finished product and the site now produces John Lewis's own brand duvets and pillows filled with high quality goose downs sourced from Siberia and Eastern Europe. Herbert Parkinson also handles curtain production for John Lewis and this is a major part of our manufacturing base. We have recently launched our Bespoke soft furnishings service which is a fantastic addition to the range of products we already offer.Read More
