Asquith: Get the Look

by Abigail Travers · 30th March 2015

Alice Asquith founded Asquith after growing up surrounded by creative women who loved to make their own clothes. Alice combined a love of fabrics with her passion for yoga and pilates to create high quality and ethically made active wear designed to flatter all women, work well during exercise but look good enough to wear every day.

Eco-friendly fabrics are at the heart of Asquith London, but it is equally important that their active wear collection are durable, breathable, keep their shape and feel great against your skin – so only the best is chosen. The three main fabrics are sustainable bamboo, organic cotton and responsibly made viscose marl, all are eco-friendly and hard wearing to last longer than high street brands (which is so much better for the environment). Not only are the fabrics eco friendly, the clothes are ethically made in small factories in Turkey and Portugal where employees have a good working environment, work a maximum of 45 hours a week and have paid holiday – because nobody should be exploited for our fashion.

If you’re looking for eco-friendly active wear for yoga and pilates classes or are looking to update your gym kit we have a few looks you can try – and don’t worry about glaring logos, Asquith’s logo, a vertical row of seven circles that represents the seven Chakras, the energy points in our body, is purposefully discreet.
