ABOUT L.F.MARKEY

Founded in London in 2008 by designer Louise Markey, L.F.Markey is an independent 
womenswear label known for its modern interpretation of traditional workwear. Combining utility 
with a feminine sensibility, the brand is recognised for its bold use of colour, distinctive fabrics and 
considered silhouettes.

An ex-Burberry designer and graduate of Central Saint Martins, Louise established the label from a 
passion for traditional French workwear and artist's smocks, reimagining utilitarian staples for 
everyday life.

Over 18 years, L.F.Markey has grown from an independent London label into an internationally 
recognised brand, building a loyal following through its signature boilersuits, chore coats, 
dungarees, work pants and denim.

With two flagship stores in London and Sydney, L.F.Markey continues to bring its distinctive 
approach to contemporary womenswear to an international audience

ETHICAL MANUFACTURE

L.F. Markey is committed to make clothes which are made in a safe, ethical environment where working conditions are fair. We pride ourselves in sustainable practices and ethical manufacturing. We embody innovative cuts, bold colours and fine fabrics which are produced ethically and encourage slow, sustainable fashion.

We use boutique-sized factories in China and India which are meticulously and consistently monitored by our supplier agents. Our factories have signed on to our internal ethical and safety compliance documents, which we manage, inspect and enforce internally. We conduct frequent audits and have a supportive relationship with our manufacturers. These audits cover areas such as worker safety, gender equality and payment of a living wage.

L.F. Markey has made a long term aim to source more sustainable fabrics. We use industry standard textiles dyes which undergo rigorous testing before being used in the market and only Oeko-Tex certified printing inks. We are currently in the process of moving our products into Global Organic Textile Standard certified organic textiles and aim to source wool yarn exclusively from suppliers who adhere to the Responsible Wool Standard.

Each customer order is plastic free, and only uses recyclable packaging materials.
