Established in Bowness-on-Windermere in 2013 and now proudly located in the heart of Windermere, Impressarum offers a unique collection of distinctively quirky, organic cotton t-shirts, hoodies and sweatshirts, designed for people who love the Lake District as much as we do.

We also feature a Dirty Velvet franchise located next door. Dirty Velvet are a design collective, focused on producing high quality clothing with designs that offer a creatively different perspective to the mainstream.

Hi, I’m Helly, the founder of Impressarum. I spent my early childhood growing up in Windermere in the seventies (telling you all my age here!) This gave me a love for the Lake District that’s never faded, no matter where in the world I’ve found myself living. Impressarum designs all have a subtle distressed effect, giving a nod to that seventies feel — relaxed, timeless, and full of character.
