Theatre, Film and TV

Many professional and fringe theatre designers make us their first port of call when researching costumes or their new productions, valuing the attention to detail and professional quality of the costumes and props.

For film, theatre, opera and television projects, the range of items is invaluable: from period and contemporary costumes and props to an extensive collection of distressed or broken-down costumes for peasant crowd scenes.

Film & Television projects include:
Harry Potter, Braveheart, Charlotte Gray, Wild Wild West, An Ideal Husband, The Mighty Boosh, Casualty 1906, and City of Vice.

What our customers say:

'The quality, craftsmanship and selection of costumes cannot be found anywhere in the United States. And the entire process is very efficient - from the promptness of delivery, even overseas, to the clarity in the paperwork, inventories and billing information.'

Manager of Production and Stage Management, Shakespeare Repertory, Chicago

'An ingenious array of costumes that I wouldn't find anywhere else... I have used the National's stock in the following films: Life of Brian, Jabberwocky, Legend, 1492, Conquest of Paradise, Braveheart, Snow White, and numerous television commercials.'

Charles Knode, freelance costume designer
