Our Sustainabilty Values
Founded in 2014 by Lauren Barfoot, Holland Street began with the vision of designing silk kimonos and robes. Despite early success with global customers and stockists like Fenwick Bond Street and Farfetch, Lauren faced challenges in ensuring the brand’s sustainability. After taking a short break she re-evaluated the brand’s message and values, leading to a significant rebranding.
This rebranding symbolises a fresh start, akin to a fresh coat of paint and a thorough self-assessment. Our renewed sense of place is energised, grounded, and confident, resonating through everything we do. The introduction of our simple production method has revolutionised our supply and stock, marking a new dawn in fashion design while upholding our core values of creativity, transparency, purpose, and passion.
Our pieces are made from natural materials with a strong social responsibility ethos, designed to be loved and to feel great in. Holland Street bridges fashion, textiles, and engineering, exploring materials as a cultural language to connect a community of design enthusiasts.
At Holland Street we believe that everything has a footprint, and by keeping to the smallest circle with the most minimal processes and natural materials, we can remain true to our labels values. Small batch production, all manufactured in our studio.
Our innovative production techniques have allowed the business to grow and be independent from outsourcing many processes and keeping a more transparent and honest provenance to her customer of
‘Where are my clothes made?’.
Holland Street was created in 2014 and has been shaped by years of refining, redefining, and reinventing how we see the industry to build a better future while retaining the joy of design.
‘It is design innovation and craftsmanship in its material and its dynamic design approaches that thread design and ethical conscience in all that is does.’
This is what encompasses Holland Street and proves that meaningful businesses can communicate their values with transparency and honesty. ‘Home’ is seen in our mind as a wider entity. On a global scale, this planet we call home needs to be nurtured, to feel safe and protected. We see parallels to our ‘body’ as our home in a more present way, and with that, what we wear reflects and cocoons our self-esteem and expression on a daily basis.
Holland Street is a brand with meaning.
