We think of ourselves as an international family‑run business that embodies our founders’ commitment to creating timeless collections for the modern woman. What started as a company of two, has grown into a close‑knit team of thinkers, creators, and innovators, taking care of our clothes, each other, and our community.

Split across the UK and USA, our team is 85% female, making us proud to be a brand for women, by women.

We are guided by two core beliefs: the pursuit of quality in everything we do and looking after one another. Everything else should take care of itself.

We are the sum of many parts. The journey is just as important as the destination. We look after one another. We promote diversity and inclusivity as central parts of the culture we are building. We are less when we don’t include everyone. Our successes and our failures we make as a team not as individuals.

We pursue quality in everything we do. We should chase perfection in everything we do. Growth is a result of improvements to every aspects of what we do, not just reliant on an individual or department. We grow together.

We embrace possibility and push boundaries. We believe that there are no limits to what we can achieve. We encourage innovative thinking, pushing boundaries, and embracing new possibilities. We constantly challenge ourselves to think beyond the ordinary and create extraordinary outcomes.

Data‑driven decisions and purposeful actions. We base our decisions and actions on data and reason, not on hope. We prioritize and justify our choices through thoughtful analysis. We think before we act, understanding the impact of our actions.

Our brand is timeless and valuable. Our brand is our most valuable asset, and we treat it with the utmost respect. We recognize that our brand will outlive us and strive to enhance its value through everything we do. We prioritize long‑term growth over short‑term gains, ensuring the longevity of our brand's reputation.
