7 new labels to love for the autumn 2020 season
Now, more than ever, it is important to support small independent brands - plus what's better than owning something unique, that you won't see everyone else wearing from the high street? With that sentiment in mind, we've rounded up our favourite new fashion labels are set to make waves in the autumn season ahead...
Cawley Studio
Hannah Cawley launched her namesake brand with the aim to produce clothing that focused on celebrating British craftsmanship and high quality natural fabrics. Cawley Studio’s designs are cut by hand, French seamed and finished in London by a small team of skilled artisans. Since the lockdown this year, Hannah has focused on made-to-order pieces which she makes at her home studio - discover her timeless checked dresses and smocked tops.
Roop
Roop is a British accessories brand founded by Manchester-based Natasha Fernandes Anjo in 2019. Roop’s signature designs are inspired by furoshiki, the traditional Japanese cloth wrapping technique. Natasha makes all her bags at her home by hand, using remnant and vintage fabrics, meaning each print or colourway has a limited run - so don’t hang around if you’ve seen one you like.
Ren London
Ren London uses all natural linen fibres to create timeless pieces to suit women at every stage in their life. Each collection is produced in limited batches in London. The billowing blouses are ideal end-of-summer attire.

Benjamin Fox is a British brand founded by Ciara Booyens in 2020.

Through this love for hand crafted pieces she now makes custom made womenswear using sustainable fabrics, in sizes UK 6-22. The big collar blouses have Zoom-call appeal.
