Women's Clothing

Effortless Style, Properly Made

Clothes for the wardrobe you actually have

Most clothing is designed for an imaginary life involving rooftop bars and better weather. This collection is for the one where you are cold, in a hurry, and would rather not think about it. Independent and frequently women-led brands, chosen for quality and versatility and a kind of quiet confidence that has nothing whatever to do with fashion week.

Small operations, mostly

Dresses that move from day to evening without changing personality. Tailored trousers. Knitwear built for comfort as much as appearance, which is not the compromise it sounds like. A good number of these are made to order in limited runs, so some take a few weeks. They also fit, which the fortnight rather explains.

The four-shirts problem, women's edition

Everybody owns things they bought for a version of their life that never quite arrived. The pieces here are chosen on the opposite principle: worn weekly, still liked in three years, and unlikely to be in a charity shop by March.

Where to go next

Have a browse through dresses and skirts, knitwear, tops and shirts, trousers and jeans, or coats and jackets. Finish with accessories, footwear and jewellery, or sort the makers by purpose and location.

If you're making something rather good, we'd love to hear about it.

We're selective. In the nicest possible way.
