GUIDE: WALPOLE’S INSPIRING MEMBERS: SUSTAINABLE JOURNEYS_
GUIDES July 2021
As part of Accouter Group of Companies, A.LONDON have joined Walpole, whose mission is to promote and enhance the British luxury sector across the globe. As we continue our journey to becoming a more sustainable company, our team are sharing who has inspired them recently from the exclusive list of Walpole members.
“…AGC will be collaborating with the sustainability leads across the Walpole membership.”
ROTHSCHILD & BICKERS: Selected by Senior Interior Designer, Lauren Colquhoun
I absolutely love Rothschild & Bickers. Their modern designs using traditional glassblowing skills are unique and completely customisable. Not only do they craft their glass shades in the UK, but they source their processes and parts locally, giving back to the community and keeping a historical trade alive.
BURBERRY: Selected by CEO, Alec Watt
I admire the luxury British fashion brand Burberry. Not only are they innovative pioneers in digital retail but also for the Burberry Beyond commitment. Sharing similar goals to A.LONDON, their mission is to become a carbon negative luxury business, inspiring the fashion industry to change.
HOUSE OF HACKNEY: Selected by Associate Director, Lottie Simonson
I love House of Hackney for their holistic approach in uniting the world of luxury and sustainability. Their hard work and dedication towards inducing fundamental beneficial change for their employees, communities, and planet are hugely inspiring and proof that the two can work symbiotically hand in hand.
FARROW & BALL: Selected by Interior Designer, Harriet Knowlton
Farrow and Ball are one of my favourite paint brands, we recently used their paint in our Horlicks Quarter show home. As well as being known for their top quality of paint, in 2010, they were the first in the industry to convert their entire range to be water-based with low VOC (volatile organic compounds) in addition to being delivered in recyclable paint tins.
Walpole British Luxury Sustainability Manifesto
As a proud member of Walpole, whose mission is to promote and enhance the British luxury sector across the globe, will help to reinforce Accouter Group of Companies’ luxury brand positioning. In 2020, Walpolelaunched the Walpole British Luxury Sustainability Manifesto: an ambitious and comprehensive aim to support the British luxury sector in lowering carbon emissions, reducing environmental impacts, and ensuring more sustainable future growth.
Along with our in-house Eco-Warriors team, AGC will be collaborating with the sustainability leads across the Walpole membership. Here, the brands will share experience, best practice and combine resources. This comes with the mission of accelerating the pace of change towards a more sustainable future for luxury in the UK.
