Shrimps (brand)

Shrimps is a fashion label founded by London-based designer, Hannah Weiland, launched in 2013.[1][2]. Originally launched with one faux fur coat and then centred around faux fur outerwear and accessories, Shrimps is now a full RTW label offering a variety of pieces as well as the faux fur outerwear that made its name. Shrimps became famous for its signature faux fur coats[3], garnering support from animal rights activists such as PETA[4][5], and drawing new attention to faux fur as a fabric in fashion[6][7].

Aesthetic and inspiration

With a background in History of Art and a diploma in Surface Textile Design from the London College of Fashion, Weiland takes her inspiration from the witticisms of modern art and a playful engagement with pattern and texture[9]. Using carefully sourced fabrics that emphasise colour and texture, Weiland creates unique, beautifully crafted pieces. At the heart of the brand is faux fur and outerwear[3], however the collections are now full RTW collections including accessories[10]
