At Bespoke Textiles, we take pride in crafting uniforms that seamlessly blend style, function, and the unique spirit of the businesses we work with. Our latest collaboration has been a truly special one—designing the staff uniforms for the Queen of Cups, a stunning 17th-century coaching inn turned modern Middle Eastern Michelin Bib restaurant in Glastonbury, Somerset.
The Queen of Cups is the creation of Ayesha Kalaji, a classically French-trained chef with a passion for Modern Middle Eastern cuisine. With an impressive culinary background and a recent appearance on The Great British Menu, Ayesha has transformed this historic venue into a destination for skilfully curated sharing plates and an unforgettable dining experience.
When Ayesha approached us, she wanted unique, branded aprons and merchandise that mirrored the exquisite style & quality of the food and branding —rooted in history but with a contemporary, welcoming touch. Our team designed pieces that honour the elegance of the past while ensuring comfort and practicality for the dynamic restaurant environment. We also made a branded tote bag with rich burgundy embroidery & are working on burgundy chef aprons that can be bought by the customers with rich gold embroidery!
The result? A beautifully crafted collection that exudes warmth and sophistication, perfectly complementing the Queen of Cups’ ethos. My daughter, Honor, a waitress at The Queen of Cups, even had the opportunity to model the design, showcasing its beauty and timeless appeal – and the pride it brings out in the team (as i talk about in my book ~ The Textile Touch ~ it takes 7 seconds to make a first impression!).
We are thrilled to have played a part in bringing Ayesha’s vision to life, and we look forward to seeing the Queen of Cups flourish as a must-visit culinary gem in Somerset.
On a personal note, I feel incredibly proud and privileged that my daughter and I have been able to bring the sustainable values we live and breathe to this ancient, mystical town and its vibrant community of hidden talent – a place we are now proud to call home.
