Nothing quite beats the feeling of discovering a new fashion label - especially when it looks luxury, but is actually pretty affordable. So, when we discovered that British brand Palones had recently launched, we paid attention.
With its roots firmly in London’s vibrant creative scene, this high-quality collection of sassy designer pieces is mostly made from existing archive fabric and accessories. The range is limited edition with hero pieces restricted to only 100 garments, each of which will not be reproduced, meaning you don't have to worry about bumping into somebody wearing the same outfit as you.
The designs are slick and modern - think a soft-touch utility range, deconstructed trenches and colour block teddy coats. The latest collection boasts affordable pricing, with the most expensive pieces ranging up to £300. And for the quality and finish, this brand is worth the price.
Unlike other labels who design their collections months in advance, Palones can turn around a new design in just a few weeks, meaning they can drop of-the-moment styles every month. But as mentioned, the brand is conscious of their impact on the environment. What do they do to help? Well, first and foremost, their clothes are built to last, so you won't find yourself throwing them out after the season has ended. As for fabrics, the mills that they source them from are local to the factories where the garments are made, which reduces the need to transport materials between facilities. Their packaging is fully recyclable, too and any unused fabrics are donated to local fashion colleges.
Speaking about the brand, Creative Director Kimmy Kim told Grazia, 'We used state-of-art software to ensure precision cuts, and I'm so proud of the Palones fit. I’ve also incorporated clever style details, so the outfits can be continually re-imagined and re-styled.'
Palones are offering Grazia readers an exclusive discount of 30% on all purchases using the code LUXE30.
