Philosophy

Longline womens cardigan made from natural alpaca fibre in Peru

Quiet design, enduring materials

At Lacorine, our philosophy is guided by restraint. We believe that the most enduring pieces are those shaped by material, purpose, and time — not by trend or excess.

Our collections are designed to exist quietly within a wardrobe, offering comfort, warmth, and refinement without unnecessary embellishment. Every decision begins with the fibre, and ends with how a piece will be worn, cared for, and lived in.

Material First

Natural fibres are central to our approach. Alpaca is chosen not only for its softness and warmth, but for its strength, breathability, and longevity. These qualities allow garments to perform naturally across seasons, ageing gracefully rather than wearing out.

By prioritising material integrity, we create pieces that retain their character over time.

Designed with Intention

We design fewer pieces, allowing space for thoughtful development and careful construction. Silhouettes are considered, proportions are refined, and details are purposeful rather than decorative.

Our aim is not to define a season, but to create garments that remain relevant — shaped by how they feel, how they move, and how they are worn.

Craft and Responsibility

True craftsmanship requires time, skill, and respect. We work with artisans in Peru whose knowledge of textile techniques informs every stage of production.

Responsibility, for us, is not a label but a practice — built through long-term relationships, ethical sourcing, and production methods that value people and process over volume. As a member of BAFTS Fair Trade Network UK, Lacorine supports fair trade principles that reinforce this commitment across our supply chain.

A Slower Perspective

Lacorine exists as an alternative to fast fashion. We believe in slowing the pace, valuing quality over quantity, and creating pieces that invite long-term use.

This perspective shapes everything we do — from fibre selection and production to design and care.

Our philosophy is simple: to create enduring pieces that respect their origin and the hands that make them.
