Cotes Mill has become the new location for photo shoots, companies and magazines are now contacting us to ask if they can use the Mill as a location for their next feature or catalogue.

The first shoot is taking place this week, the company is ‘Pantherella’ makers of fine socks for the ‘well heeled gentleman’ and one of the few brands to stay faithful to the tradition of ‘Made in England’. The socks are made with the finest yarns and hand crafted using traditional methods passed down through the generations.

These posh socks are sold on Bond Street, in Harrods, Harvey Nicols and many of the Tailors establishments on Saville Row. Tom Cruise is one of their faithful customers and Pablo Picasso was rumored to have drawers full of Pantherella socks.

The head office and factories have been based here in Leicestershire for the last 75 years, so its great for them to be able to shoot their new ‘Summer 2013 brochures for both mens and ladies ranges here at the Mill.

These brochures will no doubt find their way across the world and ‘Cotes Mill’ and its beautiful surroundings will be out there for everyone to see.
