What would you say Yeroglyph has that other products
don't have? What sets Yeroglyph apart?
What sets us apart is making high quality products in the
UK with the latest technology and sustainable materials.
We also love comfortable clothes and most of these are
sportswear so we take many cues from activity clothes.
The other important aspect is the discreet spiritual incline
and meaningful designs. Most of what's on the market
these days is either really plain or too flashy and the
design seems to always be inspired by American sports
clubs.
How many models does your collection include at the
moment?
We've started very small with 3 models of scarves and
seamless beanies. However 2 out of 3 are available in 2
colours.
Is Yeroglyph going to stay mainly as a brand that produces
accessories or do you have plans to include garments at a
later time?
The next collection will mainly include garments so stay
tuned!
Tell us more about the name Yeroglyph and the
inspiration behind your designs?
The name Yeroglyph came by watching a chat show on
French TV in the early 90's. Hiéroglyphe, a hairless cat was
once featured. I thought it was a great idea to name a cat
like that seen the status cats used to have in ancient Egypt.
I also merely liked the sound and meaning of the word.
Then last year when I created the brand, as all the similar
names to Hiéroglyphe and Hieroglyph were taken I
decided to make my own word which is sort of a mash up
of English word and the French phonetic.
Yeroglyph is all about basics so I wanted to start with a set
of colors that would match most people's wardrobes
whether for work or leisure. That's why there is black,
grey, navy blue, red, green and white.
