THE CLOTH AT FERGUS GALLERY
A Caribbean Fashion Residency in the Heart of Saint Jean Cap Ferrat
15 December 2025 — 11 January 2026
From the southernmost island of the Caribbean, The Cloth brings the Caribbean aesthetic to the French Riviera through suspended textiles, workshops, and ready-to-wear and made-to-order garments.
Enjoy creative workshops, Caribbean Christmas sorrel — a non-alcoholic mulled-wine–style drink of hibiscus and spices — and discover pieces made from West Indian Sea Island Cotton, the finest and rarest cotton in the world.
This residency runs through Christmas & New Year, presented in collaboration with Ferus Gallery, whose curation of contemporary artists, iconic photography and monumental sculpture has made the Port of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat a destination for collectors from around the world.
The Art of Caribbean Appliqué –
Creative Session
Join a family-friendly workshop with guided by The Cloth Co-Founder & Anthropologist Sophie Bufton, participants will have a cultural encounter with Caribbean appliqué and create their own fabric collage from atelier offcuts to discover how design, composition & colour-pairing can transform fragments into stories.
The session includes Caribbean Christmas sorrel, a hibiscus-based, spirit-free festive drink infused with warm spices — inviting guests not only to make, but to taste and feel the atmosphere of Christmas in the Caribbean.
