For every beautiful garment People Tree makes, there's an equally beautiful change happening somewhere in the world. We like to think of it in terms of our little shoots-and-roots motif. We provide you with exclusive fashion - the shoots - while at the same time we work deep down through the roots, improving the lives and environment of the artisans and farmers in developing countries who work to produce it. It's Fair Trade throughout. Simple.

Designers_Page_3_Outsider

Outsider is designed to be classic, wearable and beautiful. Inspired by the items that have been in our wardrobes for years - because true style is timeless, not transient and throwaway. Outsider does not want to preach about ethics but simply wants to create the perfect solution for clients.

junkystyling

Junky is an innovative design-led label. All garments are made from the highest quality second hand clothing, which is deconstructed, re-cut and completely transformed.  A focus and belief in individuality means that no two garments are ever exactly the same, a design concept which led Vogue to describe Junky as ‘high fashion street couture’.

From_Somewhere

All women’s wear collections are made with luxury designer pre-consumer waste, up-cycling, high-end fashion and textile surplus into beautiful clothes that take into account the balance between consumption and disposal.
