Dukes Flores is a small scale clothes label that has the principle of sustainability at its core.
With the use of organic, sustainable and recovered fabrics, duke flores aims to provide an alternative to the exploitative and wasteful nature of the fashion industry. For duke flores, sustainability does not negate stylish and thoughtful design.
Sometimes duke, sometimes flores, sometimes duke flores, it is a collaborative project by two designers where at times collections will be designed by one or the other, but mostly the design process is done as a duo. They met at university, and decided to set up a label together after realizing that both had strong views about the need for fashion that respects the producers and the environment without jeopardizing good design.
