About us
Club L London is the next-generation online fashion retailer for the forward-thinking consumer. Founded in 2007 Club L was created with the vision of offering long lasting luxury styles, trend-oriented collections with a twist and unique, statement designs that offer both exceptional quality and fit in an otherwise saturated market of fast fashion and throw away goods. Expertly designed and crafted in-house, Club L specialises in accessible luxury, unique designs and unrivalled quality made to flatter every figure.
We manufacture everything in house and abroad and so apart from fit, quality and design it’s imperative that we source and manufacture in an ethical and environmentally friendly way. At Club L our team are like family so ensure all our staff are paid fairly and have full access to company benefits. We are also working hard to ensure that we are environmentally conscious throughout the production process. We now ship 85% of all goods by sea and have reduced packaging by 60% since 2019.
We are passionate about nurturing upcoming talent within the fashion industry whether it be design and development, marketing and PR, digital tech, creative, social or customer services within a diverse and collaborative environment. Our team is dedicated, ambitious and hard-working and with a prestigious portfolio of global partners and a rapidly growing e-commerce team, there are numerous opportunities to join Club L’s influential team and take your career to the next level.
