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.
