About

Astolat Bespoke was born during the Covid-19 pandemic in the throws of lockdown. During this period, I was living in rural countryside, surrounded by astounding natural beauty. I developed a fascination with art history, and particularly the Pre-Raphaelites who's depictions of Arthurian legend served as the main inspiration for the brand. Nowadays, my work reflects a variety of influences - from Vivienne Westwood's punk era to Victorian corsetry to contemporary art and affairs.

Astolat Bespoke's ethos is centred around creating garments that are unique, beautiful and high quality - whilst causing as little damage to the environment as possible. We call it the anti-fashion brand because we don't believe in trends or fads, or in consuming for the sake of consuming. We're committed to using only second hand, vintage and antique fabrics that may other wise end up in landfill, and any new materials we do use are sourced from responsible manufacturers and small local businesses.

In this age of fast fashion and late stage capitalism, it is imperative that we re-think the way we create and consume. Astolat Bespoke has gone back to basics, slowing down the means of production and working with intention - striving for a fairer and healthier world - for us, and for Mother Nature too.
