our sustainability promise

at leah loves, we care about people and the planet and strive to be as sustainable as we can be.

all our clothing is ethically handmade in london by our founder, zoe. she carefully selects every detail, from fabric to finishing, to make sure each piece is crafted with care and attention. every item is made in very small batches with intention, reflecting zoe’s commitment to slow fashion and sustainable values.

we source our fabric from UK deadstock suppliers. deadstock fabric is surplus textiles from other brands that they no longer have a use for, or extra rolls that they over-ordered. instead of going to landfill, we buy this fabric to create our own pieces. we carefully select our deadstock fabric suppliers and ensure they align with our ethical values.

although using deadstock fabric has limitations in terms of choice and variety, we strive to source as many natural fibre options as we can. at the moment, 100% of the pieces on our website are made from natural fibres. as collections grow and introduce more pieces, we will always aim to keep this statistic but the availability of fabric will vary from time to time. our goal is to use fibres that are as sustainable as possible.

we produce a very limited number of each design. because we use deadstock fabric, we are unable to reorder the fabric again once the pieces have sold. this helps us learn and plan our collections and stock before overproducing any items too.

our pieces are crafted to be durable and long-lasting, so you can enjoy them for years to come. to help keep your pieces looking their best, please follow the washing instructions carefully, which are located on the care labels inside the garments as well as on our website.
