BRAND VALUES
For us as a brand, nature and the health of mother earth is at the at the forefront when designing and creating new pieces.
Throughout the design process, we are always looking at new innovative ways and fabrics whilst absorbing everything around us, bringing in a little nature to the collection where we can.
Currently we are entering a new chapter for AW, an exciting new journey. Our natural fabrics and tee’s will be plant dyed, making each batch truly unique. More on this very soon, super exciting.
We source fabrics and suppliers responsibly and look at every aspect of our supply chain. We go out of our way to get to know the lovely peeps making/providing a service for us.
We ensure all workers are paid very well and are working in a safe and friendly environment. We work with a strict code of conduct and social compliance.
We employ local creatives, suppliers and outsource through them if required. We source our tees/sweats locally in Cheltenham where they are also mocked up and embroidered by their epic team.
Our core collection is made in London, by an incredible small female-run manufacturing company. This is where he main happens; the patterns, tech packs, initial samples and small production runs.
All fabrics used are responsibly sourced here in the UK, along with fastenings and buttons. We use natural, long-lasting fabrics and dead-stock surplus fabrics. We are making limited runs of our signature styles that will last a lifetime.
We are developing and building some wonderful relationships along the way, long may it continue. POPS&LO embrace a zero-fabric waste policy.
LIMITED RUNS & BESPOKE
POPS&LO garments are created in small limited runs using a range of fabrics.
We offer a pre-order service on certain styles, we do not mass produce. We will drop existing as well as new styles but in a different fabrics, creating pieces that are truly unique.

FABRICS & FASTENINGS
The POPS&LO philosophy is to always use high quality fabrics in each limited drop that will in turn last a lifetime.
We source our fabrics here in the UK. Some dead-stock fabrics have come from big fashion houses, we are giving them a new lease of life instead of them ending in landfill.
We have built up fantastic relationships with fabric specialists, we source as local as we can.
Our signature COROZO fish-eye buttons used are made by our incredible button makers in the Cotswolds.
The COROZO button is derived from the nut of the Tagua Palm which grows in the equatorial rainforests of central America and in time biodegradable.
Our silk covered buttons are all handmade by our lovely button maker just outside London.
