London designer, Alice Stone, this week

launches "Lily & Lionel" - a bespoke line of ethically- made fashion

accessories.



Her range has already caught the attention of Vogue

which has described it as "some of the prettiest artisan-produced, ethically

sound designs around."



Stone's mission was to produce one-of-a-kind pieces

that were exclusive and affordable.



She comments: "Usually "bespoke" means expensive,

and "green" means unsophisticated. I wanted to create unique fashion pieces

that bucked both trends."



"The right, timeless scarf or bag can reinvent an

outfit - Lily & Lionel is here to help people shine without breaking

the bank."



Stone, 24, has travelled the globe in search of the

right materials and artisans to produce her designs. 



"The products

are exquisite pieces that exude craftsmanship, attention to detail and

beautiful fabrics,"
Stone says.



"Our ethical sourcing policies mean we only

deal with reputable suppliers who maintain an excellent working environment



while paying a living wage to all their staff."



The boutique range boasts hand-stitched silk

kaftans
, cashmere scarves and even the perfect little black dress. Only 30 of

each design are made (each come with a certificate) so you can be sure that you

have a limited edition that you won't see on anyone else.



The Lily & Lionel range is available to buy

direct at www.lilyandlionel.com and

also through selected boutiques across the UK.

Notes to Editor:



Inspiration behind the brand



Lily and Lionel were Alice's grandparents who

grew-up in London's East End. Lily worked in secret as a seamstress, spending

evenings sewing elaborate, sumptuous creations for her family, whilst Lionel

worked supplying the leading British high street retailers after World War I.
