The collection contains everything from the everyday to the extraordinary, showcasing the work and lives of Londoners from the Tudor period to the present day, and their relationship with the rest of the world.

We Wear Heritage invites you to share your stories! Do you have a cherished childhood memory of a favourite traditional outfit, or are you curious about the history of a piece of clothing you own?
