2023

From 2021 we expanded our lines including sportswear, unisex styles, and a shift in the diversity of fabrics, incorporating brighter and louder designs. In 2022 we shot two campaigns in Zurich, Switzerland and  In 2023 we produced our first Atelier-made collection designed in London and produced in Accra, Ghana. This shift to half factory - half handmade clothing, allowed us to have closer control of our production and expanded our creative imagination especially for exclusive pieces.

2020

In 2020 we evolved into creating sophisticated elegent clothes with  sustainability as central to the brand, Instead of focusing on just vegan materials, we began producing fully ethical collections made from high quality natural and recycled fabrics sourced in England.  

2018

The idea of Blackburd began in late 2017 with the intention of creating premium vegan outwear to confront the problem of animal cruelty in the luxury fashion world, mainly focusing on high quality Faux leather, Sued, Fur and other materials.

Luxury Redefined With The Earth In Mind.

...Reuse, Remake, Recycle

The underlying theme of Blackburd is not a particular style, but a philosophy. We believe the beauty of artistic storytelling and the luxury of comfort and options. when merged together with the utilisation of sustainable resources and practices to invert the beauty from outside to also the inside, you get Blackburd.

When it comes to style, We don't restrict ourselves to any particular trend or mode of self expression, instead we enjoy experimenting with different themes and stories in our campaigns to provide varying options for your wardrobe with adventurous yet adaptable outfits through different seasons.

We apply our values

In the following way

Organic

Overtime we have developed most of our designs with organic materials such as Cotton, Tencel and Linen.
Additionally we removed plastic from our packaging for shipments, from 2022 onwards we changed to using biodegradable cardboard instead. 

Fair Labour

Blackburd keeps close relationships with our factory partners to ensure that the people behind the hands that create the product are fairly treated and paid livable wages. We believe that design innovation is nothing without the makers who bring the ideas to life.

Vegan

No animals and animal testing is involved in our brand. Our mission involves creating vegan friendly designs with competitive quality standards.

Give back

A portion of the sales of the product goes to causes that have a positive social impact, committed by the brand.

Recycled

Sourcing recycled materials such as recycled polyester and viscose, diverts waste away from landfills while demanding lesser new resources from the earth.

Local

Everything is designed in London while All our fabrics are approved by the designer and are sourced in England, Spain and Ghana. 

Circular System

Some of our pieces get reimagined and redesigned. Additionally we utilise smart resources through using our own deadstock (unused) fabrics to ensure the integration of circular sustainability and low waste during production. 

Supply chain 

Originally our collections were produced at 30-100 units per design in  Singapore and China. Overtime we moved production to England where we continue producing half of our designs till this day, with the other half now being produced in Accra, Ghana.
