Rebecca Morter, Founder of Lone Design Club
When LDC officially launched in May 2018, Rebecca quit her own brand to lead the company. Rebecca explains that one of the most rewarding parts of creating these niche pop-up spaces was giving a voice to these talented emerging brands.
LDC believes sustainability should be a given and LDC select brands based on their efforts and stories and not the core USP to a brand or to our brand: sustainability should be integral. We don’t need to give customers the options of what’s sustainable but prefer to show them cool and contemporary brands, each with a sustainable or ethical story, helping to make strides to support consumers to shop more consciously and to make it part of our DNA.
About Lone Design Club
Lone Design Club was founded in May 2018 as the result of emerging international fashion + lifestyle brands uniting with like-minded businesses in rising up, taking control and shaping the future of retail.
It started by creating short term concept stores appearing for 1-2 weeks at a time, first around London and then internationally, where designers are in-store telling you first-hand accounts of how the product was designed and made. Experiences and events followed, allowing designers an intimate outlet to tell their story and the audience a chance to interact with topics ranging from sustainable fashion to individual empowerment and entrepreneurship. Shortly after, Lone Design Club launched its online store, giving their community a new avenue to further relationships that is open 24/7. Both physical and digital platforms allow consumers to discover + shop from independent brands with traceable and mindful practices, selling exclusive and one of a kind items incomparable to that on the high street. To shop consciously, knowing the story behind every purchase.
