London-based brand A Room is a collective creative project composed entirely of women, including designers, pattern makers, seamstresses, textile developers, photographers, and archivists. The brand draws inspiration from Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own and the personal experiences of women. Infused with elements of cultural heritage and nostalgia, focusing on the needs of the contemporary woman's wardrobe, and characterised by feminine silhouettes juxtaposed with study of fabrics, craftsmanship, and savoir-faire of materic elements.

Each garment represents a shift in perspective. Fashion begins in the designer's studio and is born in the tailor's workshop, but it only truly comes to life when worn by women on the street. It navigates the imperfect world day by day, leaving traces unique to each wearer. The brand seeks to celebrate all women and the vibrant, busy, beautiful lives they lead in their clothes. A Room enhances a variety of bodies, attitudes, individualities, values, and emotions.

 

Manufacturing

We are a small, all-female team based in London, dedicated to creating thoughtful pieces. Some of our garments are lovingly produced in small batches at our studio in East London, while others are crafted by a trusted and responsible factory in Shanghai, China.

This factory has specialised in producing garments for independent ethical brands across Japan, the UK, and France for over a decade. They are committed to upholding ethical labour practices, ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions, and regular breaks for their team.

We are deeply committed to transparency and building strong relationships with our partners. Earlier this year, we visited the Shanghai factory to strengthen our collaboration and ensure our shared values align. The talented team crafting many of our cherished pieces consists of skilled local seamstresses, and we are proud to support and grow alongside these incredible practitioners in the fashion industry.
