Henrietta founded Henri in 2016 after studying at London college of Fashion and working as a freelance pattern cutter. Particularly interested in form, fit and function she wanted to create a niche line of shirts that could be versatile design wise, yet still required the need for excellent pattern cutting and attention to detail. Her love of the English country side and Devon coastline adds a practical and care-free element to a range that is otherwise tailored, giving the renowned Henri fit for being comfortably chic.

Through working on Henri, Henrietta has developed a passion for continued learning on sustainability and social responsibility within the business. Visiting the communities behind the Henri shirts opened her eyes to the importance of continued ethical outsourcing and provided another reason to push the business forward. She is committed to growing Henri so that more rural communities and more disadvantage women may find dignified and meaningful employment within the Henri supply chain.

“As soon as I walked through the door of the women's cooperative in Mumbai I realised my idea of creating a more sustainable clothing company was going to be possible.

Inspired by the things that matter to me most - my love of the outdoors, simple, family pleasures and my home in Northern Spain, I sat down to sketch my first bibico collection.

Currently we work with two women's cooperatives that are both fair trade certified by the WFTO. The cooperatives provide women with training, education and work, empowering them to move themselves and their children forward and out of the world of poverty.

We don’t think we are saving the world but just doing our little bit...

We do this by asking questions, producing ethically, reducing wastage, using off-cuts where we can for sampling and keeping consumption low.

Finding perfect in imperfection

WHAT WE STAND FOR

We create social change through business not aid.

We work directely with every artisan and sewer who are part of the process of developping our collection. This supports them individually in accordance to their needs and situations.

We want to create long lasting change by investing in people.

On the design side we develop timeless pieces with high quality finishing in order to bring wardrobe favorites to our clients.

We only work with organic, certified or recycled material that last and have a positive environmental footprint.

We dream of a world where physical and practical needs stand above materialistic desires.

How we do it

We design, source, and manufacture our clothes with one aim in mind: to maximize benefits for the people we work with whilst minimizing the impact on the environment. Respecting the people we work with, building relationships, and caring about our natural environment are as much as important than the clothes we create.
