SHARED SUSTAINABLE VALUES
Here at Lone Design Club we are surrounded by sustainable values from all of our amazing brands who each offer unique and interesting products. All of our brands have their own distinctive sustainable goals and ethics but many brands also share similar values which all are vital in reducing the impact from the fashion industry on the environment. In todays post we will be looking at the values of Dola, Succo and Asime, and how timlessness is at the heart of the brands.
Who are Succo?
Succo style’s high aesthetic value stands out in the industry with attention to detail: finest yarns, niche craftsmanship, sustainable production practices, and original patterns. Succo renews the tradition of handmade embroidery and honours its timeless beauty in the modern world.

Bamboo fabric is a natural cellulose fiber, it can be completely biodegraded and the decomposition process doesn’t cause any pollution to the environment.
The companies designs are designed to be timeless and something that can be worn all year round with a low focus on trends but still being fashionable and cool.

Timelessness and reducing waste is a big value at Asime. The brand has small scale production and the women at Aunty's Fashion House ensure each product is crafted carefully to give the piece a long life span in everybodies wardrobes.
Timeless fashion
Timeless fashion is elevated basics that do not follow new trends and ceases to go out out of style.
A shared value of all these brands is the importants of making fashion timeless and not following micro-trends which get thrown away before the next season!
We think that this brand value has made a great addition to our club and we can't wait to see you in our brands pieces in years to come.
