The Conscious Edit: July
The Shoe Launch
If you’re already familiar with Parisian shoe brand Bobbies, you’ll be pleased to hear it’s opened a store on Marylebone High Street. Inspired by classic bohemian-chic style, every pair of fairly priced shoes is made using the highest level of craftsmanship in family owned workshops in Portugal and Spain, and as part of a short production circuit to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

The Denim Destination
Founded by Claire John last year, the Denim Library is a resale platform giving upcycled and preloved denim a new lease of life. After 30 years working for a major denim brand, Claire left to create a designated space for denim within the resale market. Now, her brand offers hand-picked edits of preloved and upcycled jeans to conscious consumers, with labels on offer including Levi’s, Acne and Wrangler.

The Instagram Brand
If you’re looking for something truly unique, Copenhagen-based Amanda Bugge is the new name to know. The designer creates everything by hand – from the bespoke prints inspired by anemones to the patterns and the pieces themselves. Expect plenty of feminine details like pretty prints, bow ties and puff-sleeves. With a web shop in the works, everything is currently available through the brand’s Instagram account.
The Shop In Shop
London department store Fenwick has collaborated with luxury rental platform Front Row to launch an exclusive rental service at its Bond Street and Newcastle stores. As part of the collab, Fenwick has curated an exclusive edit from Front Row’s extensive rental collection – including pieces from Saint Laurent, Zimmermann and Lanvin – and created a shop-in-shop experience.

The Underwear Label
Founded by Marie Stolt and Maria Lager, Swedish brand Understatement Lingerie offers modern, stylish, long-lasting styles for every occasion.

The polyamide typically used in underwear has also been replaced with premium Econyl fibre, which turns plastic ocean waste like fishing nets and PET bottles into sustainable textiles.
