Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. Weezie’s Weekender Collection, Costume Couture: Sixty Years of Cosprop, and Sanderson’s Highgrove collection. Written by Natalie Aldridge.
Weezie’s Weekender Collection
Summer may be on its last, lazy stretch, but there is still time to soak up the season in style. Our solution: wrapping ourselves in Weezie’s newest Weekender Collection. We have long been fans of the brand’s knack for making even an ordinary morning feel like a mini holiday, and this latest launch takes it one step further. The collection of organic-cotton robes and wraps comes in charming florals and stripes that practically beg for a lakeside morning coffee or a post-swim hang-out on the porch.
The best part about this collection is that a portion of proceeds benefits the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, supporting families affected by the recent floods in Texas Hill Country, a cause close to home for The Glam Pad. For co-founder Liz Eichholz, she spent her childhood summers at camp in the region and wanted to create something that celebrates those slow summer days while giving back to a community close to her heart.
It is soft, it is meaningful, and it is exactly the kind of summer indulgence we will be reaching for well into fall. The full collection can be shopped here.
Costume Couture: Sixty Years of Cosprop
The Fashion & Textile Museum is pulling back the curtain on one of cinema’s best-kept secrets. Opening September 26 in London, Costume Couture: Sixty Years of Cosprop is set to celebrate six decades of sartorial magic from the legendary costume house behind some of film and television’s most unforgettable looks from Bridgerton to The Crown.
Founded in 1965 by Oscar and BAFTA-winning designer John Bright, Cosprop has dressed everyone from Meryl Streep in Out of Africa to Colin Firth’s iconic Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice and Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey. Now many of these costumes are leaving the archives for the very first time, offering an extraordinary chance to see the craftsmanship that brings characters to life.

The exhibition is a feast for fashion and film lovers alike. Expect sumptuous gowns, tailored three-piece suits, and exquisitely embroidered accessories displayed alongside sketches, mood boards, and swatch samples that trace each costume’s journey from page to screen. The details are mesmerizing: frayed hems, delicate beadwork, perfectly weathered fabrics, all the subtle touches that transform an actor into a character.
For those of us who love costumery and storytelling, this exhibition will be pure delight. It is nostalgic, cinematic, and brimming with inspiration, reminding us why costume design remains one of the most powerful forms of visual storytelling. We cannot wait to visit!
Sanderson’s Highgrove collection
When King Charles III acquired Highgrove House in Gloucestershire in 1980, the grounds were little more than overgrown fields. Over the decades he transformed them into one of Britain’s most celebrated private gardens, a series of distinct outdoor “rooms” that reflect his lifelong passion for craftsmanship and heritage. From wildflower meadows and formal yew topiary to the enchanting Stumpery filled with ferns and sculptural tree stumps, Highgrove is a living portrait of the King’s vision for harmony between nature and design.
Sanderson’s new collection, Highgrove by Sanderson, translates the celebrated landscape of the estate into a series of painterly wallpapers and fabrics. The designs capture the romance and richness of the gardens, with more than 100 patterns that evoke the estate’s seasonal beauty. From the classic chintz we adore to vibrant citrus trees, delicate fritillaries, graceful delphiniums, lively pheasants, and Mediterranean motifs, each print stands as a testament to enduring style.
Fabrics are woven in historic British mills, and wallpapers are printed using century-old machines, reflecting the enduring quality and heritage that define both Highgrove and Sanderson. Ten percent of net sales supports The King’s Foundation, which advances environmental stewardship, traditional crafts, and cultural education.
The Glam Pad always celebrates heritage and the stories that give design its soul. This collaboration feels especially meaningful, marrying the artistry of Sanderson with the storied grounds of Highgrove to create something timeless yet deeply personal.
