BARNES & MORGAN: TEA & THREADS

"Tea" is symbolic of hospitality, comfort and an invitation to stay a while...

“Threads” is symbolic of connections and storytelling 

THE BARNES & MORGAN STORY

Tea and Threads seamlessly weaves our owner's rich family heritage and life’s common threads into a brand that transcends mere clothing. Inspired by the symbolism of tea and threads, Barnes and Morgan embodies style, culture, community, and storytelling throughmeticulously crafted designs and the worldly experience of tea.

“Barnes and Morgan” pays tribute to our owner’s family legacy. “Barnes” honors his mother, who hand-sewed her children’s clothes, while “Morgan” celebrates his father’s side, with roots tracing back to his grandmother, a dedicated seamstress, and his great-uncle, a tailor with his own label, “Made by Jackson”. This legacy of craftsmanship is carried forward by the owner’s sister, the head pattern maker and seamstress for the brand’s tailored garments.

Our designs reflect a belief that dressing well should be an everyday expression of confidence and individuality. Each piece invites wearers to tell their own story, effortlessly blending elegance with comfort. Through this, Barnes and Morgan fosters cultural connections, recognizing that if you look deeply into any aspect of life, you will find common threads that unite us all.

The brand’s mantra, “WELCOME TO OUR HOME. STAY A WHILE. LEAVE WITH A STORY WORTH SHARING,” encapsulates our vision of a space where fashion and personal narrative intertwine. Barnes and Morgan is not just about clothing and tea; it’s an invitation to be part of a timeless story, one that honors the past while inspiring new chapters every day.
