Charlotte Simone

Having founded her company Charlotte Simone, famed for its ‘playful designs in signature happy shades’ in 2015, last year, Charlotte Beecham took a huge leap of sustainable faith, completing flipping her business model. Now she produces limited-run curated collections available for one week only at a time, thus almost eliminating waste. charlottesimone.com

Kitri

While maintaining a bit of visibility in shops like Selfridges, Kitri has ditched fashion weeks and now concentrates on pre-order and made to order, with monthly collections and weekly drops, all in limited runs. Check them out for colour pops and excellent prints. kitristudio.com

Beacon & Armour

Literally launching one item at a time, Beacon & Armour has just released its latest small-batch product – the chore jacket, made in 100 per cent British corduroy, where customers got to choose the three final colours. With only 50 available, they get snapped up fast but you can sign up here to get on the waiting list for the second batch which is in the offing. beacon-armour.com

Phoebe English

Founded in 2011, sustainability has been at the heart of Phoebe’s designs since launch. All products are created in ‘made to order batches’ and are made in London, thus cutting transport costs too. And when it comes to materials, she sources as many from the UK as is possible – even asking other designers for materials they won’t be using anymore. Collaboration like this we need more of. phoebeenglish.com
