Asquith

Asquith is founded by Alice Asquith in 2002, combining her love of fabrics and design with two other passions: yoga and Pilates.

She wanted to make elegant, naturally breathable activewear in a way that benefited people and minimised the impact on the environment.

Creative background

Alice comes from a long line of creative women; her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother all designed and made their own beautiful clothes. Many of her earliest memories involve fabrics - Indian silks, Harris tweeds, Liberty prints and the sound of whirring sewing machines.

From the very beginning, it was crucial to Alice that Asquith activewear was ethically made in the best quality, eco-friendly fabrics that were as soft as they were hardwearing.

Alice also wanted the designs to be multifunctional and work as well on the mat as they did off, so women could feel good wearing them wherever they went: the school run, the beach, on a plane, as loungewear, walking the dog, as well as in the studio.

Sustainability

It’s wonderful to see how much more aware people are about their clothing choices and how they impact the environment and the people who make them. This, combined with how great the Asquith fabrics feel against your skin, has meant that demand has grown and allowed Asquith to increase their range of activewear and include more lifestyle clothing.

Over the years Alice has built up a truly terrific team around her who are based all over the UK and Europe. She is passionate about flexible-working, and most of the Asquith team have young children, so they choose the hours they wish to work.

Her greatest ambition is that you feel amazing wearing our clothes; they have been made in the most positive way Asquith can find and with great love.
