The Story So Far…

Lou Dungate is an eponymous label, based in London. Focussing on sustainable production and luxury natural fibres, the core collection comprises of cashmere scarves and accessories. A self-taught knitter, Lou created knitwear professionally, by hand, for seven years and founded an award-winning wool shop (#theknitclub) before launching the label. Dedicated to promoting a slow and ethical lifestyle, Lou eschews the traditional fashion model in favour of creating timeless pieces of the finest craftsmanship, for a life well lived.

“We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.” Henry David Thoreau
