Our Mission

OWN LABEL is about high quality design without paying high prices for established brand names. Our mission is two fold:


For designers 

To harness the creative talents of upcoming designers and provide them with a channel through which their designs can be seen by fashion conscious consumers. 

 

For the fashion conscious consumer 

To democratise fashion and give consumers input into which garments get made. To give fashion forward shoppers the opportunity to be the first to get their hands on the next big name designer of tomorrow.

 

About us

OWN LABEL was set up following a collaboration between students from the University of the Arts and London Business School. There are four original founders of the company, all of us share the same belief, that the consumers should determine what looks stylish and that the internet provides the ideal platform to showcase the talents of rising designers. 

Our backgrounds are, we hope, as varied, as the garments we manufacture.  

Toby looks after our finances. He recently graduated from London Business School with a Sloan MSc having previously spent 15 years working in finance.
